An Auction of Discoveries, Attributions, Unanswered Questions & Second Looks.
What happens to the works an auction house isn’t quite ready to sell? Over the years, Collective Hudson has put aside works that left us with unanswered questions: paintings separated from their documentation, works accompanied by acquisition stories we could not verify, illegible or unidentified signatures, conflicting attributions, questionable authorships, and discoveries that simply required more research. Some appeared potentially important. Others seemed almost too good to be true. Now, we are bringing them together in one auction.

Among the names represented, attributed, inscribed, signed, or referenced in the sale are Bernard Buffet, Rene Gruau, Leonor Fini, Fernand Leger, Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne, Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Jacques-Louis David, Antoine-Louis Barye, Alfred Stevens, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, David Teniers II, Jan Brueghel, Alexandra Exter, Olga Rozanova, Alexander Rodchenko, Bruno Zach, Demetre Chiparus, Max Le Verrier, Emile Galle, Gabriel Viardot and others.
Some names represent firm identifications; others appear as attributions, possible attributions, works in the style or circle of an artist, inscriptions, historical catalog information, or comparisons requiring further study.
The more than 450 lots range from Old Master and Renaissance paintings to European works of the 17th through 20th centuries, Chinese and Asian antiquities, Art Nouveau and Art Deco, sculpture, furniture, glass, works on paper, icons, Russian and Eastern European art, and an unusually large group of unidentified or illegibly signed works awaiting another set of eyes.
Rather than pretending the questions don’t exist, we are making them part of the sale. Where appropriate, Collective Hudson explains what we know, what we don’t know, what we discovered during our research, and why we reached our opinion. Buyers are encouraged to examine the works, study the photographs and catalog information, conduct their own research, and reach their own conclusions.
NEW — THE AUTHENTOMETER
Selected higher-valued artworks may include our new Authentometer rating, A1-A10, reflecting Collective Hudson’s assessment of the available attribution and authenticity information for a work. Higher ratings indicate a greater degree of confidence.
Selected works rated A8-A10 that realize a hammer price of $5,000 or more may qualify for a refund within 30 days of the auction date if a recognized expert clearly states in writing that the work is a forgery and is not an authentic work by the artist described. See individual catalog entries and Terms and Conditions for applicable details.
The Authentometer represents Collective Hudson’s opinion based upon the information available to us. It is not a formal authentication or Certificate of Authenticity.
LOOK CLOSELY. READ THE CATALOG. DO YOUR RESEARCH. MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. Sometimes the most interesting works are the ones that still have questions left to answer.
This is an online-only Timed+ auction exclusively on LiveAuctioneers. There is no telephone bidding and no left or absentee bidding through Collective Hudson. All bidders must register and place their bids directly through LiveAuctioneers. Lots close individually in sequence, with Timed+ extensions when bidding occurs near a lot’s closing time.
