Fine art was more than just fine, it was plentiful among this week’s featured auctions. In fact, all but two lots could be defined as fine art, whether two or three dimensional. Leading the pack were two inkjet prints with acrylic paint on canvas works by John Baldessari, which secured $187,500 for Abell Auction. Achieving five figures were Samuel Adolf Cashwan’s “Three Peasant Dancers” ($12,000 at Winter Associates), “Chevy 3100” by Peter Helck ($13,200 at Soulis Auctions) and Charles W. Hawthorne’s portrait of Helen Beneker ($12,160 at Bakker Auctions). Four-figure results are below as are the two lots that fell under other categories.
