THOMASTON, MAINE — Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ three-day auction on July 8-10 will feature a catalog of art, including works by Andrew Wyeth, Jamie Wyeth, Winslow Homer, Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and John Singer Sargent, plus a collection of Old Master paintings. Additionally, there will be a group of American colonial-era furniture.

Among the American art will be “The Shepherdess,” a charcoal and chalk drawing by Winslow Homer (1836-1910); a signed and numbered Andy Warhol (1928-1987) serigraph from the “Marilyn Monroe” portfolio published in 1967; gouache drybrush “Portrait of Bishop D. Coburn” by Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009); Jamie Wyeth’s (b 1946) charcoal portrait of Arnold Schwarzenegger executed at Andy Warhol’s “The Factory” in 1977; an oil on canvas bust portrait of a young woman by Norman Rockwell (1894-1978); and “Breaking Clouds,” an oil on board seascape by Frederick Judd Waugh (1861-1940). There will also be a collection of art photography, including 13 images of celebrated people by Yousef Karsh (1908-2002).

Many of the American art masterworks in this sale are from the estate of collector and Nashville, Tenn., dealer Gary R. Haynes (1945-2021). Haynes was a successful designer and advertising executive who, later in life, developed and refined his interest in fine art by studying with Carl Sublett and following the work of Andrew Wyeth. Through the decades, he and his wife, Joanne, would visit Maine, seeking Wyeth’s artistic perspective firsthand, quietly collecting and ultimately opening Haynes Galleries in Thomaston and Nashville.

Leading the international art category will be a painting depicting a ship moored on the Baltic coast in the moonlight by Ivan Aivazovsky (Russian/Ukrainian, 1817-1900). Additionally, there will be Old Master works such as “Madonna and Child with St John the Baptist” an oil on panel by Lucas Cranach the Elder (German, 1472-1553), “Der Auferstandene Christus” (The Risen Christ) by Gerard Seghers (Flemish, 1591-1651) and “Peasants Dancing in a Barn” by Adriaen Jansz Van Ostade (German, Dutch, 1610-1685).

Among the selection of early American furniture will be a circa 1830s paint-decorated country Sheraton Pennsylvania Dutch bench; a mid-Eighteenth Century transitional Queen Anne cherry and pine high chest; and an Eighteenth Century red-painted country Queen Anne shaped top tea table. English and continental furniture offerings will include Eighteenth Century Italian parquetry chests, Nineteenth Century French cabinets and a gaming table, an intricately carved Irish Chippendale gallery top table and an English George III period canopy bed.

Folk art will be well represented in this sale, with a colored pencil drawing by outsider artist Bill Traylor (1854-1947); a pair of mounted sheared wool rugs, each depicting two opposing spaniel dogs; and a molded copper weathervane attributed to J. Harris & Co. depicting Native American warrior “Massasoit”; a graduated set of five Shaker oval pantry boxes; plus antique theorems, eagle plaques, ship models, walking sticks, sailor’s valentines and a collection of wood carvings.

The clock collection will include a Connecticut Federal period wooden works tall clock by Thomas & Hoadley, Plymouth; an English Nineteenth Century bracket clock in black lacquer with tortoiseshell mounts; and a three-piece late Nineteenth Century rococo-style fire gilded bronze mantel clock and garniture set by Emile Colin & Cie, Paris.

Featured among the 166-lot estate jewelry and watch group will be a mid-Nineteenth Century 22K gold Archeological Revival necklace by C. (Carlo) Civilotti, Rome; and a necklace with Eighteenth Century pendant set with a Persian turquoise cabochon and rose cut diamonds suspended from a retro turquoise and diamond chain.

There will be more than 265 lots of Asian antiques and artifacts, such as a Chinese cinnabar four-fold floor screen with raised cloisonne and jade decoration; a framed Seventeenth or Eighteenth Century Tibetan thangka of Green Tara; and two Chinese Ming dynasty period bronze Immortal figures.

The gallery will be open for previews from Monday through Friday, June 27 through July 1 (9 am to 4 pm); Saturday, July 2 (10 am to 3 pm); and Tuesday through Thursday, July 5-7 (9 am to 4 pm). Previewing will also be available on auction days, July 8-10, from 9 to 11 am.
