BEACON, N.Y. — Hudson Valley Auctioneers will present a one-owner antiques and estate auction with absentee, phone and online bidding through LiveAuctioneers on Monday September 23, at 5 pm Eastern time featuring American portraits and paintings, folk art and signs from the estate of Alfred Selnick.

Selnick began his working career in a contractor’s office; after a year there, he spent the next eight years with an architectural-engineering firm, where he rose to the position of chief structural engineer.

In his long and distinguished career, Selnick was a consultant for a diversified array of structures, including hospitals, hotels, industrial use buildings, cargo buildings, airports, theaters, schools, libraries, museums, shopping malls and stores.

His interests extended to woodworking and he had built two large workshops in his Hillsdale, N.Y., home and showroom.

His particular interest was in turning bowls and creating useful objects for his family and friends.

Selnick’s interests in collecting folk art began after meeting Phyliss Solomon in the late 1960s. They shared an appreciation for the arts, and Phyliss began acquiring American portraiture.

She had become a volunteer at the American Folk Art Museum in New York City and her enthusiasm spurred Selnick’s serious pursuit of objects that spoke to the connection every collector shares with their personal passion

Their home and separate gallery on a mountainside in Hillsdale, designed by Selnick were perfectly suited to display both of the collections.

The auction has combined both collections for this public offering with a cataloged sale of artwork, folk art and signage, followed by an uncataloged session of various other items, all to be offered in person and on liveauctioneers.com.

Copies of the catalog may be ordered from the auction house.

Limited seating is available with advanced reservations.

Preview dates are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 18, 19 and 20 from 3 to 6 pm, Saturday, September 21, from 11 am to 3 pm, Sunday, September 22, from 1 to 5 pm, and on September 23, day of sale, from 2 to 4:30 pm
