SUDBURY, MASS. — The end of May at Tremont Auctions brought 631 lots across the block in the firm’s May 31 Annual Spring Fine Arts & Antiques auction, which offered silver and gold estate jewelry, paintings and prints from the Sixteenth to Twenty-First Century, bronze sculptures, Americana, porcelain decorative arts, American clocks, furniture and more. The leading lot was a set of two standing figures with black hair and green garments on blue pedestals by Indian artist Nek Chand (1924-2015), which realized $22,320, including buyer’s premium, against a $3/5,000 estimate. Measuring 21 and 19½ inches tall respectively, the figures were made from concrete, pigment and colored glass rods. Additional highlights from this sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
