Andy Warhol, Paul Revere and the Lavernes will share the spotlight in Weiss Auctions' July 18th sale

LYNBROOK, N.Y. - July 10, 2023 - PRLog -- A complete portfolio of four screenprints in colors by Andy Warhol titled Skulls, three fabulous pieces by Philip and Kelvin Laverne (including an incredible wall plaque), and a Paul Revere sterling silver pepper pot are just a few of the over 500 lots folks will be able to bid on in Weiss Auctions' online-only estates auction scheduled for Tuesday, July 18^th.

The auction, with a 10 am Eastern start time, will have bidding available on Weiss Auctions' newly redesigned bidding platform (weissauctions.com), as well as the other online platforms.

The Warhol Skulls portfolio, from 1976, comprises the complete set four screenprints in colors on Strathmore Bristol paper, full sheets, each measuring 40 inches by 30 inches (sight, less frame) and each pencil signed by Warhol and pencil numbered ("26/50"). The portfolio, published by Andy Warhol Enterprises, Inc. (N.Y.) has an estimate of $125,000-$175,000.

The Philip and Kelvin Laverne pieces include a wall plaque with a wonderfully well-done image of a Chinese village, 17 inches tall by 60 inches long and signed lower center (est. $40,000-$60,000); an etched bronze coffee table in an unusual and rare geometric pattern (est. $8,000-$12,000); and an end table in an Oriental motif, 18 inches in diameter (est. $6,000-$8,000).

The Paul Revere sterling silver pepper pot, about 5 ½ inches tall and weighing 129 grams, is hallmarked at the bottom with four "PR" initials in block letters, along with the letters "F W E" (est. $20,000-$30,000). It was Revere's habit to inscribe or engrave the family name of the purchaser at the bottom of his items; "F W E" is believed to be for William and Elizabeth Farrell.

Two original but very different artworks have identical estimates of $20,000-$40,000. The first is a large pencil portrait by Willem de Kooning (1904-1997), signed and inscribed, "Portrait of Dear DeHirsh to Annick du Charme. De Kooning 1963". The 14 inch by 16 inch portrait was given directly to the artist Annick du Charme and consigned thru the family to Weiss Auctions.

The second is an oil on canvas landscape painting by Hermann Ottomar Herzog (1832-1932), titled Shohola Glen. It's a wonderful painting depicting a wooded landscape scene, with a canvas size of 21 ¾ inches by 26 ½ inches, housed in a frame measuring 34 inches by 39 inches. The work is artist signed lower left ("H. Herzog"). The frame has some areas of damage and wear.
