LARCHMONT, N.Y. — With the tag line, “Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!,” Clarke Auction Gallery conducted its Spring Spectacular Estates Auction on April 12, celebrating the onslaught of warmer weather with just shy of 600 lots of fine art, watches and clocks, rugs, art glass, lighting, furniture and jewelry. Earning top-lot status at $25,600, including premium, was a Study for a mural by Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886-1957). Done circa 1928-30 in charcoal on paper, the 77¼-by-54¼-inch work was consigned from a Mamaroneck, N.Y., estate, but had additional provenance to Erhard Weyhe (New York City), a 1977 Sotheby’s auction, Sindin Galleries (New York City) and a private collection in Amityville, N.Y. Additional highlights from the sale will be featured in an upcoming issue.
