Auctioneer Hicks reveals that the live auction will feature works by renowned artists such as Milton Avery and Richard Diebenkorn, with some pieces fetching prices that rival those of a luxurious home.
One of the standout pieces in the live auction is “Figure on the Jetty” by American modernist Milton Avery. This masterpiece, expected to sell for an impressive $500,000 to $700,000, captures a solitary figure on a jetty gazing out to sea. The painting reflects Avery’s mature style and is believed to have been inspired by his time spent in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
The auction house describes the painting as a timeless representation of Avery’s artistic brilliance, with the piece having been displayed in prestigious galleries and institutions before finding its way into Hackman’s collection in 1997. Hackman cherished the artwork until his passing, adding a touch of his own legacy to its storied history.
