NEW YORK CITY — Auctions at Showplace will present a collection of fine and decorative arts, antiques and furniture in its upcoming auction on Sunday, November 3. The auction features 280 lots sourced directly from prominent estates and collections across New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area. This diverse selection offers an exciting opportunity for collectors and art enthusiasts to acquire highly sought-after works.

A key highlight of the sale is a collection of works by leading Israeli School artists, including Arieh Aroch, Joseph Zaritsky, Lea Nikel, Naftali Bezem and many more. These artists, whose works are well-known for their pioneering role in modern Israeli art, are represented by significant pieces that are sure to captivate collectors. Among the standout offerings is Aroch’s 1962 painting “Tzakpar,” an oil on canvas that was exhibited at the prestigious 32nd Venice Biennale. Also of note are Joseph Zaritsky’s abstract compositions, including his “Abstract Composition” and “Flowers in the Window,” both oils on canvas. These pieces, like many in the auction, are being sold to benefit the Jewish Federations of North America.

Additional highlights from the Israeli School include Nikel’s abstract compositions, Nahum Guttman’s striking watercolor works and Marcel Janco’s tapestries. Many of these works are representative of the artists’ influential contributions to Israeli modern art, with pieces that have been shown in renowned galleries and exhibitions around the world.

The auction also features a selection of international contemporary and modern art. Noteworthy pieces include works by James Rosenquist, Hunt Slonem, Philip Pearlstein and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as a diverse array of sculptures, paintings, ceramics and mixed-media artworks. Of particular interest is Bruno Voigt’s 1932 mixed media piece titled “Resignation,” which comes with extensive exhibition history at institutions like the Jewish Museum in New York and the Berlinische Galerie Museum.

In addition to the fine art offerings, collectors will be delighted by a wide array of decorative arts, jewelry and furniture. Standout furniture lots include iconic pieces by designers such as Eero Saarinen, Le Corbusier and Stickley. Featured among these is a Steinway & Sons baby grand piano Model M and a Nicolas-Louis Mariette Louis XV commode from the Eighteenth Century.

Decorative arts include a selection of art glass, porcelain, silver and ceramics, with featured pieces by noted artists such as Toshiko Takaezu, Vivika and Otto Heino and Warren MacKenzie. Also of note is a Tiffany & Co. Hampton pattern sterling silver flatware service for 12, a must-see for silver collectors.
