CHICAGO — Hindman’s May 25 Modern design auction featured American and European design spanning the Twentieth and Twenty-First Century. Standout pieces by important designers Piero Fornasetti, Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, Paul Evans and others were represented. Leading the 180-lot sale was a Philip (1908-1988) and Kelvin LaVerne (b 1937) “Chan” cabinet from the LaVerne Collection, USA. It surpassed its high estimate of $35,000 to realize $62,500, including buyer’s premium. Etched, patinated and polychromed bronze and pewter with a raised signature to the top in metalwork, the cabinet measured 32 by 49 by 15½ inches. The father and son team created custom, limited edition pieces of furniture that were both functional objects and stunning displays of artistry. Their distinctive sculpted bronze pieces harmoniously combine innovative metalworking techniques with traditional motifs. Further highlights of this sale will be discussed in a later review.
