EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — World Auction Gallery will ring in the New Year with a 535-lot auction on Sunday, January 2, led by a large collection of items by Yaacov Agam (Israeli, b 1928) from a private collection; a collection of Judaica items, including silver, bronzes and more; and paintings by noted and listed American, Chinese and European artists.

Also offered will be enameled Russian silver and Buccellati silver pieces; European porcelain, including Meissen and KPM; and Chinese and Japanese items. The auction will start promptly at 10 am Eastern time.

Pieces in the Yaacov Agam collection include an Agamograph lithograph titled “Festival #5,” signed and numbered (42/99), in the original frame, 23 by 24 inches ($800-$1,000); and two Judaica kinetic Shalom menorahs, both on a tri-base, both signed and numbered and housed in their original padded cases ($600/800).
Judaica items will feature a rare silver Torah shield (Warsaw, Poland, dated 1862), 17½ inches tall, with a certificate from Judaica Research dated June 16, 1999, plus added items ($3/4,000); and a large bronze and marble Hanukiah, gold color, 20 inches tall, by Salvador Dali (Spanish, 1904-1999), signed and numbered (5/250), dated 1980 ($1/1,500).

A Russian enameled silver basket with jewels, hallmarked, 8½ by 4½ inches handle-to-handle, should bring $1/1,500; while a Russian monumental oil on canvas painting, apparently unsigned, titled “Lenin Talking to Farmers,” 19 by 16 inches (sight), should realize $800-$1,200.

A pair of silkscreens on canvas signed and dated by Pop Art icon Andy Warhol are expected to gavel for $50/75,000 each. One, titled “5 Coke Bottles,” 20 by 16 inches (sight), is inscribed “Merry Christmas, 1962” with a Christmas tree on the back. The other, titled “Flowers,” from 1964, is 24 inches square and has the original “Galerie Ileana Sonnabend, Paris” label.
