On Monday, October 27, 2008, Clarke will host its Fifth Annual Fine Art Auction, featuring fresh-to-market and exceptional 19th and 20th Century paintings and sculpture.

The Auction will offer estate-fresh, unusual, and exceptional works from artists such as Larry Rivers, Jane Freilicher, Gladys Bates, and Mary Cassatt. International art includes works from Thomas Rowlandson, Eugene Berman, Brett Whiteley, Wynne Apperley, and Gabriel Spat.

Clarke anticipates great interest in the signed 1925 lithograph by Henri Matisse.

Two fresh-to-market single owner collections of prints feature rare pieces by Martin Lewis, John Sloan, Reginald Marsh, and Yasuo Kunioshi in addition to works from Robert Motherwell, Helen Frankenthaler, and Joan Miro.

A Riverdale NYC estate provided an unusual midcentury collection from American sculptors, including pieces by Alexander Calder, Fritz Bultman and Theodore Roszak.
