DANVERS & BEVERLY, MASS. — Kaminski Auctions will conduct a unique onsite auction event on August 17 at 11 am, showcasing the contents, garden ornaments and stunning stained glass windows of the monastery of the Carmelite Nuns in Danvers.

Established in 1958 on land formerly occupied by a golf course, the Danvers monastery was opened under the guidance of His Eminence Richard Cardinal Cushing, DD, LL.D. A year later, Bishop Fenwick High School was constructed on the adjacent property, which sits at the intersection of Danvers, Salem and Peabody. The chapel of the monastery is now permanently closed, and this auction marks a rare opportunity to acquire items that once held sacred significance within its walls.

Kaminski Auctions will feature a range of notable items from the chapel, including large multi-sectional stained glass windows, an elegant marble altar, various lighting fixtures, chalices, candlesticks and monstrances, alongside garden statuary. Many of these items reflect the Brutalist style, offering a unique appeal to midcentury collectors seeking distinctive pieces for their collections.

Note that buyers will be responsible for the removal and associated costs of transporting purchased items. Kaminski Auctions will provide recommendations for two experienced companies specializing in glass removal and transport to facilitate this process.

The auction will take place at the Carmelite Monastery, 15 Mount Carmel Road, Danvers, Mass. The preview for this auction will take place on August 14-16, 9 am to 5 pm at the monastery. Interested parties are encouraged to attend to experience the remarkable beauty and craftsmanship of these items firsthand.

Sunday, August 18, at Kaminki’s gallery in Beverly features a selection of contemporary, midcentury and European art and a unique collection of Harlem Renaissance art by the painter Romare Bearden from the estate of Anthony Cromwell Hill of Cambridge, Mass.

A top lot of the auction is a Paul Jenkins (American, 1923-2012) contemporary painting titled “Phenomena Lure of Cardinal Red.” The painting is acrylic on canvas, 72 by 56 inches, and is from the estate of the late Maurice and Myna Perlstein of La Jolla, Calif., and Chicago. In the contemporary category, there is also a Peter Max oil on canvas, signed and dated 1988, measuring 30 by 40 inches. From the German expressionist Hans Richter (German, 1888-1976), a gouache on paper, titled “Composition,” and initialed H.R. lower right. There are also several entries by Richard Pettibone. Contemporary sculpture features Jeff Koons’ blue “Balloon Dog.”

European highlights include a signed watercolor/gouache, dated 1914 by Emil Nolde (German-Danish, 1867-1956), titled “Manam Motu,” Papua New Guinea (200/300,000). Other artists represented include Frank Helmut Auerbach (German-British, b 1931), Karl Schmidt-Rotluff (German, 1884-1976), Albert Marquet (French, 1875-1947) and Pieter Willem Sebes (Dutch, circa 1827-1906). Another notable entry is an Eighteenth Century oil on canvas attributed to Giovanni Antonio Canal (Canaletto) from a Palm Beach, Fla., estate.

American painters represented in the auction include Ralston Crawford (1906-1978), Philip C. Curtis (1907-2000) and from the American Impressionist artist Mary Cassatt, a still life study of grapes, an oil on board from the Debra Gold collection, Godel & Co., Fine Art, New York. American sculpture includes a bronze sculpture of a boy holding flutes by M.A. Aldrich and a bronze titled “Girl Contortionist” by Paul Granlund (American, 1925-2003). There are several ceramic pieces by David Gilhooly from the estate of the late Maurice and Myna Perlstein.

The silver category has a Tiffany & Co., sterling Chrysanthemum pattern flatware service totaling 287 pieces and Georg Jensen collectors will note a sterling flatware service of Acanthus, a seven-piece place setting for 12 with serving pieces.
