A 25-lithograph Salvador Dali portfolio will headline Bruneau & Co.'s April 24th online auction

CRANSTON, R.I. - April 9, 2024 - PRLog -- A complete portfolio of 25 lithographs from Salvador Dali (France/Spain, 1904-1989) titled Aliyah, and a 1924 Alpha Romeo half-scale Shriners parade P2 go-cart racer are a couple of the wild and wonderful items awaiting bidders in Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers' online Fine & Decorative Art auction slated for Wednesday, April 24^th, at 10 am EDT.

"The spring Fine & Decorative Art online auction includes some great items from New England estates, which make it an eclectic mix from Old Master paintings to contemporary sculpture," said Kevin Bruneau, president of Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers.

Bruneau added, "Amazingly, the complete Salvador Dali Aliyah portfolio came to us on a free appraisal day in the gallery.  Each lithograph is signed and numbered in pencil along the bottom margin, and the set even comes with the original linen-covered portfolio box."

All 25 lithographs on paper in the Aliyah portfolio measure 22 ½ inches by 15 inches. The portfolio is 27 ¾ inches by 21 inches. Dali was a surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images. There are two museums devoted to his work – in Spain and St. Petersburg, Fla. The portfolio is expected to bring $10,000-$20,000.

The red, half-scale 1924 Alpha Romeo P2 go-cart racer is in fine running order and has been driven proudly in many Southeastern New England Shriners parades. The vehicle has a steel frame and a wood and spray foam body, and is fitted with a gas-powered Honda 200 engine.  It should reach $2,000-$6,000, with the proceeds going to benefit the Shriners of Warwick, R.I.

An oil on canvas by the Dutch Old Master artist Jacob De Wet (1610-1675), titled Bath of Diana, 21 ½ inches by 26 inches, depicts Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting and chastity, bathing in a forest surrounded by nymphs and dogs and gazed upon by the hunter Actaeon, in mid transformation into a deer as punishment for viewing her nude body (est. $2,000-$6,000).
