Auction Description
Be captivated by our December 8th Art & Design Auction, showcasing The Collection of Sammy Kusler, a legendary Los Angeles art dealer renowned for his discerning eye and pursuit of the rare and unusual. The Kusler Collection masterfully captures the essence of a 1960s cultural salon, where each piece tells a story of artistic revolution and creative dialogue. This vibrant assemblage presents collectors with a rare opportunity to acquire works that span decades of artistic innovation, from bold abstract expressions to timeless traditional pieces. From moody 19th Century pastorals to groundbreaking Midcentury abstracts, the collection features works by an impressive roster of artists including Grigory Gluckmann (1898-1973), Otto Bachmann (1915-1996), Sergei Pavlovich Tumakov (b. 1919), Alonzo Joseph Davis (b. 1942), Leighton Ross (1909-1983) and Leo Politi (1908-1996) among many others. A particular highlight is the newly discovered works of Philip A. Solman, whose abstract metal sculptures and paintings reveal a fascinating artistic dialogue with his renowned brother, Joseph Solman. The auction's iconic 20th Century furniture and decorative arts offerings are equally compelling. Highlights include an immaculate Arne Vodder rosewood sideboard credenza for Skovby Mobelfabrik, an elegant Kipp Stewart Designs Summit teak outdoor collection, and a John Vesey aluminum and walnut folding stool.
