Nessel was a longtime Boston resident and founder of the Fenton Shoe Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nessel traveled to Europe extensively in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly Italy, to develop the company’s import trade. It was during this decade that he acquired many works by notable Italian modernists such as Arnaldo Pomodoro and Ettore Colla, frequenting galleries in Rome and Florence. In his lifetime, Nessel was a major supporter of several Boston institutions such as Brandeis University, Massachusetts General Hospital, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Nessel also made a substantial gift of eighty-one works from his American modern and contemporary collection, including a Protractor series work by Frank Stella, to the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, Florida.

Estate of Eleanor Kanegis Levin, East Gloucester, Massachusetts Lots: 1-3, 46, 123-126, 130, 165, 177-180, 203, 248, 249 Eleanor Kanegis Levin was the co-owner of the Kanegis Gallery in Boston with her first husband Sidney Kanegis from 1955 to the mid-1970s, which was influential in representing Boston modernists.1 She also managed Retina Gallery in Cambridge from 1968 to 1971, which specialized in optical and kinetic works by such artists as Anni and Josef Albers and Victor Vasarely.2 A practicing modernist artist herself, she studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and in her later years, maintained a studio and art gallery in East Gloucester called “The Guild/Sacred Cod”. 1. Lafo, Rachel Rosenfield, Painting in Boston, 1950-2000, Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 2002, p. 204. 2. Lawrence, J.M., “Eleanor K.

Estate of Anna Eleanor Braman Grasso, Essex, Connecticut Lots: 210, 269, 569, 571, 605, 611 Anna Eleanor Braman was raised on Long Island and Old Chatham in the Hudson River Valley, attended Vassar College in the late 1940s, and in 1951, married Dr. Thomas Arthur McGraw, a graduate of Yale and Cornell Universities. The newlyweds spent their first married year in North Carolina, but subsequently lived in New York City for over a decade, until Dr. McGraw’s passing in 1966. During this time, the McGraws were ardent gallery-goers, and Ms. Braman was active in the art scene as a reviewer for a Manhattan publication called “Park East.” Ms. Braman continued to collect with her second husband Mr. Graham H.R. Jenkins of Connecticut, and her last husband of eighteen years, Dr. Thomas A. Grasso of Connecticut, the widower of Connecticut’s first woman governor Ella Tambussi Grasso. In her middle to late age, she promoted the artistic and literary life of her community in Essex, Connecticut as the owner of the Clipper Ship Bookshop and member of the Connecticut River Museum.

Estate of N. David Scotti, Providence, Rhode Island Lots: 101-112, 320, 337, 338, 339, 341, 358, 374, 387, 391, 392, 394, 395, 397, 445, 492, 514, 526, 534-536, 550, 558, 562, 566, 581 N. David (Nino) Scotti was a lifelong antiques collector and enthusiast, as well as a Southern New England history aficionado. Scotti, born and raised in Providence, first began attending auctions with his mother in his teens. In his twenties, he co-founded a company in downtown Providence that became Associated Appraisers Inc., an estate auctioneer.1 In the company’s last thirty years, Scotti was the primary owner and manager as well as principal auctioneer. He was active in Providence’s cultural scene, and was an avid supporter of societies such as the Hope Club, the Turk’s Head Club, the Providence Art Club, and the Providence Athenaeum. 1.

Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps, an Orientalist, genre, and history painter, as well as a sometime caricaturist, was one of the first French painters of the 19th century to turn from Neoclassicism to Romanticism. Born in Paris in 1803, Decamps spent time in the countryside as a youth, and there he developed a love of drawing. His art training was uneven, studying briefly with Etienne Bouhot and Alexandre-Denis Abel de Pujol, but he admired the works of Rembrandt and Chardin and learned extensively by studying their palette and use of glazes. Decamps’ travels as a young man in the Near East and Asia Minor, as well as Italy, inspired his painting. As a result of his visit to the Middle East, he was among the first European artists to represent Biblical scenes with natural, local backgrounds. While at Smyrna it is said that he made sketches enough to provide subject matter throughout his career as an Orientalist painter. Decamps also produced a number of genre scenes from France and Algeria. His exhibition record is extensive, beginning at the Paris Salon of 1827, including many prizes, and he was elected an Officer of the French Legion of Honor in 1851. $1,500-2,500

Literature: John Wilmerding, Robert Salmon: Painter of Ship & Shore, Boston: Peabody Museum of Salem and Boston Public Library, 1971, p. 95. N.B. Robert Salmon, an English-born marine artist, spent his early years painting in England and Scotland, including the ports and shipbuilding centers of Liverpool and Greenock. His style was based on the older English marine artists, themselves influenced by the

353A

Dutch. In 1828 Salmon immigrated to the U.S., settling in Boston where he established a successful career painting ship portraits and coastal views. Salmon had a great impact on the direction of American marine painting. Using precise foreground detail and devoting a large area of the composition to the atmospheric effects of the light-filled sky, Salmon’s works foreshadowed the Luminist style of Fitz Henry Lane. Salmon left Boston in 1842, returning to Britain, perhaps to the Scottish coast. In a catalogue of Robert Salmon’s Pictures 1828-1840, which is reproduced as Appendix A of John Wilmerding’s monograph on Salmon, the artist lists two paintings he made of Ailsa Craig in March of 1840. The Craig is listed as the subject of three other earlier paintings from his inventory, and was a favored subject, whether painted on location or from the artist’s memory. Ailsa Craig, rising some 1,100 feet high, is a well known landmark in the Firth of Clyde where it joins the Irish Channel. $8,000-12,000

In the early 1870s Norton left for Europe, living in Paris and then in London, building his reputation on views of the Thames and coastal and marine paintings. Returning to the United States around 1901, Norton settled in New York City and also spent time painting on Monhegan Island. “Norton’s Ledge” on the south side of the island is named for him. Norton exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Paris Salon, the 1893 Chicago Exposition, the Pennsylvania Academy, and the Art Institute of Chicago.1 A label on the stretcher of this nocturnal painting gives the artist’s address as 23 Camden Road NW, No. 4, suggesting that it may have been painted or exhibited during the artist’s time in London. A similar but smaller nocturnal view by the artist (possibly a study for the present work) was sold at a Skinner auction on September 11, 2009, lot 385. 1.

Provenance: Sotheby’s New York, September 14, 1995, lot 24. N.B. Cincinnati-based artist Charles Meurer painted in the tradition of the American trompe l’oeil masters William Michael Harnett and John Frederick Peto. The artist traced his fascination with trompe l’oeil painting to seeing Harnett’s still lifes at the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition of 1886, and other works by Peto in Cincinnati art galleries in the 1890s. Born in Germany in 1865 to American parents, Meurer was raised in Tennessee. As a young artist he received a pivotal commission from Adolph Ochs, editor of the Chattanooga Times, to paint a still life incorporating the front page of the paper along with books and other objects relating to the newspaper industry. Successful with the commission, Meurer continued to elaborate on this theme. The artist included paper currency in many of his still lifes.1 1.

401. Adolf Schreyer (German, 1828-1899) Arab Horsemen Signed “Ad. Schreyer” l.r. Oil on canvas, 23 1/2 x 33 in. (59.7 x 83.8 cm), framed. Condition: Lined, subtle canvas deformations, subtle retouch. N.B. We wish to thank Dr. Christoph Andreas, who has kindly confirmed the authenticity of the lot. Noted Orientalist and genre painter Adolf Schreyer (also referred to as Christian Adolf Schreyer) was born in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1828. After early education at the Institut Staedel in Frankfurt, he studied at the Academy in Düsseldorf, then settled in Vienna in 1849. During the Crimean War (1853-1856) Schreyer followed the Austrian Army through the Wallachian frontier as a sketch artist.1 Schreyer went on to study in Paris and North Africa. In 1859 he traveled extensively in Egypt and Syria, learning Arabic and immersing himself in the culture, and in 1861 he visited Algiers. From 1862 to 1870, Schreyer lived in Paris. He returned to Frankfurt in 1871. He was a member of the Academies in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. His works were awarded medals in Paris in 1864, 1865 and 1867, and in Munich in 1876. Schreyer died in Kronberg in 1899. Schreyer painted the landscape and culture of foreign lands, from Russia to North Africa. His travels brought him inspiration and also gave his work authenticity. He is regarded as a great painter of horses in all their aspects.2 His works, well-conceived compositions, brilliantly colored and vigorously painted, were very popular in his time, and were found in European and American private collections. Schreyer’s paintings are found today in major museums in Europe and the United States, including museums in Frankfurt, Cologne, Hamburg, Paris, Boston, and San Francisco. 1. E.

N.B. Although Furneaux was born and raised in Greater Boston, he is best known for his work in Hawaii. In 1880, Furneuax traveled to Hawaii on the advice of, and as a companion to William T. Bingham. The artist was immediately struck by the grandeur of the volcanoes, and made numerous sketches on site of lava flows and eruptions, again encouraged by Bingham who was a gentleman scientist and devoted student of volcanoes. Furneaux’s success garnered him commissions from King Kalakaua. While some of these were landscapes, many were portraits. Furneaux spent the rest of his life in Hawaii as a painter, teacher and coffee farmer. $25,000-35,000

410. Elling William (Bill) Gollings (American, 1878-1932) Squaw/Landscape with Native American on Horseback Signed "Gollings..." l.l., titled and inscribed "...M.H." on the reverse. Oil on canvas, 7 x 10 in. (17.8 x 25.4 cm), framed. Condition: Surface grime, minor craquelure, pigment fluorescence. Provenance: Private collection, New Mexico. N.B. By Golling’s account, his most vivid childhood memories recalled ranch life, either on his grandmother's farm near St. Johns, Michigan, or his father’s homestead in Lewiston, Idaho.1 Though his interest in drawing Western subjects had been sparked as a child by his older brother Oliver, he did not attempt it until junior high when he began to follow the work of Frederick Remington.2 At the age of eighteen, along with a friend who also had the “western fever,” Gollings boarded a railcar from Chicago to the Great Plains state of South Dakota, under an assumed name and misuse of a “drover's pass” (which allowed livestock caretakers to a free return fare).3 Gollings and his friend traveled through South Dakota and Nebraska where they worked seasonal jobs as ranch hands, and eventually Gollings settled on his own in Montana, near the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.4 Gollings began painting in 1903 when he acquired some oil paints through the Montgomery Ward & Company

catalogue.5 Golling's brother DeWitt acted as his promoter, first pitching his works locally and then in Chicago. After some successful sales and favorable press, on the encouragement of his brother, Gollings attended The Chicago Academy of Fine Arts (now the School of the Art Institute of Chicago). After his schooling, Gollings returned to Sheridan, Wyoming, where he continued to work as a cowhand, painting intermittently. By 1909, Gollings devoted himself to art in earnest, building a studio, marketing his own works, and attending art exhibits.6 1. Scherger, R.H. (Bob), “Paint Bill: Elling W.

Winter view of the present Peltier house (next to the ‘Lightning Splitter’) where the S.F.- -Buckland Road crosses the Clessons River (about halfway between S.F. and Buckland). Little dark red farm house under a tall slender elm, backed by the rounded mountain dome and shoulder of the hill back of Leon Goodnow’s. This canvas was bought from one of my early Boston exhibitions by Miss Eugenia B. Frothingham of Marlboro St. Boston.”1 There is a second, slightly later version of this painting, whereabouts unknown. Dr. Mark L. Purington, Jr., a lifelong friend of the artist, created a website in 2002 to catalog, document, and preserve information about the life and work of Robert Strong Woodward. 1.

539. George Henry (Scottish, 1858-1943) Portrait of an Elegant Woman Signed and dated “GEORGE HENRY 1901” l.r. Oil on canvas, 52 x 39 5/8 in. (132.1 x 100.6 cm), framed. Condition: Retouch, varnish inconsistencies, losses to tacking margin, restretched, craquelure. N.B. George Henry was born in Irvine (North Ayrshire), Scotland, in 1858. He trained at the Glasgow School of Art, and studied life drawing with William MacGregor, one of the “Glasgow Boys,” a circle of painters with whom Henry would soon join. Working at roughly the same time as the architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the “Glasgow Boys” revolutionized Scottish painting from 1880 to about 1895, rebelling against Victorian sentimentality and painting everyday subjects in a fresh, new way, often working outdoors. Henry’s painting, A Galloway Landscape (1889), now in the collection of the Kelvington Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, has been described as “the nearest to a masterpiece ever painted by any of the Glasgow Boys.”1 While Henry is known primarily as a landscape painter, he was also an able portraitist and figure painter. Using deft brushwork, he excelled at creating rich surfaces and sparkling highlights. Henry shared a studio with Edward A. Hornel and together the artists traveled to Japan, staying 18 months in 1893-94. Many of Henry’s works were unfortunately destroyed on the voyage back to Britain, but the experience of visiting Japan provided a font for future paintings created in Scotland. Henry was an associate member of the Royal Scottish Academy. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy (London) in 1907, and a full member in 1920. He also exhibited with the Royal Scottish Painters of Watercolours in Scotland, the Aberdeen Artists’ Society, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and at the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts. 1. www.artistsfootsteps.co.uk/artists_a_z.asp

Provenance: Mr. Eliot Wadsworth (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Harding), Boston, Massachusetts; then by descent within the family. N.B. Laura Coombs Hills’ favored mediums were watercolor and pastel. Born in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1859, Hills studied at the Art Students League and later established her studio in Boston. Her first solo exhibition featured 16 pastels at the J. Eastman Chase Gallery in Boston in 1889. After visiting England in 1893, Hills became fascinated with miniature painting on ivory, which was enjoying a renaissance during the Arts & Crafts movement. Always gifted at working in tiny scale, Hills entered a successful period of painting miniature portraits on commission that would last almost 30 years. She returned her focus to rendering flowers in pastel after 1920. Using bouquets picked from the garden of her summer home in Newburyport, Hills painted floral still life arrangements set against textured backdrops based on scarves and fabrics she had collected on her travels. These works earned for her the critical distinction of Boston’s leading pastelist of the early 20th century.

She had a very active career and was among the celebrated members of the national and international artistic community of her time.1 In a letter from Cecilia Beaux that accompanies this lot (dated Feb. 1914 and written on stationery bearing the address 20 Gramercy Park), the artist addressed the sitter as “Dear Neighbor.” She wrote that she had signed the drawing and left it for him to find when he got back. Beaux goes on to say that she may “…sometime bother you to lend me the drawing to appease the Exhibition Wolf, which is always growling about my door…” The artist compared the sitter to “the daring son of the Captain of the Bucentaure,” (the French flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar). The letter is signed, “Your long-winded but true friend and neighbor, C.B.” 1. Who Was Who in American Art, Peter Falk, Editor-in-Chief, Vol. I, p. 252.

He had already had his first private show at Galerie Lucy Krogh at the age of 17. Seeking more thorough training, Cassigneul took and passed the entrance exam for the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris and worked in the studio of Roger Chapelain-Midy from 195560. Cassigneul’s style has also been influenced by the expressionist painter Kees van Dongen.

Since that time the artist has had numerous exhibitions in the United States and Japan, as well as in France.

608. Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887-1986) Alligator Pear in White Dish, 1921 Initialed, titled, and inscribed “OK...O’Keeffe...” on the backing. Oil on canvas-covered board, 12 x 9 in. (30.5 x 22.9 cm), framed. Condition: Very minor surface grime. Provenance: From the artist to The Downtown Gallery, New York; thence to The Mayo Hill Galleries, Wellfleet, Massachusetts, thence to Katrina Grullemans, Chatham, Massachusetts; by family descent to present owners. Literature: Barbara Buhler Lynes, Georgia O’Keeffe: Catalogue Raisonné, Volume Two, New Haven: Yale University, 1999, no. 35, pp. 1102 and 1115 (illustrated). Exhibitions: The Anderson Galleries, 1924; The Downtown Gallery, New York; The Mayo Hill Galleries, Inc., Wellfleet, Massachusetts, July 1954. N.B. In the forward to a 1936 exhibit at Alfred Stieglitz’s American Place gallery, Marsden Hartley described the works of O’Keeffe’s earlier period—specifically her diminutive compositions of flowers and vegetables—as contending with “the border-line between finity and infinity” and describing “nature in her simplest appearance.”1 The present work illustrates these qualities recognized by Hartley, which explores the relationship between the organic and inorganic, as well as the sculptural and twodimensional. The white dish is presented as full-bodied in its meticulously-worked modeling and yet ethereal in its luminosity. The alligator pear, with its thin, reductive surface, is placidly poised both in and on the dish. Through the illusion of symmetry, the viewer is led to see the objects as ideal forms, and yet, as subtle irregularities reveal themselves, the materiality of the objects comes forth. According to the stock book of The Downtown Gallery, as well as a letter from Georgia O’Keeffe to Edith Halpert dated December 2, 1953, the present work is dated 1921.2 The stock book and sales invoice also indicates that the work was lent and exhibited at The Mayo Hill Galleries in Wellfleet in July 1954, retained and sold to The Mayo Hill Galleries on September 7, 1954, and paid in full on October 5, 1954.3 The work was purchased by Ms. Grullemans, a resident of Chatham in the 1950s, presumably around this time. 1.

611. Yves Tanguy (French/American, 1900-1955) Sans Titre, 1943 Signed and dated “YVES TANGUY 43” l.r. Gouache on paper, sheet size 2 7/8 x 13 7/8 in. (7.3 x 35.3 cm), framed. Condition: Trimmed sheet (probably by the artist) along top margin, glued along several points on the margins’ verso to backing mat. Provenance: Estate of Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (née Braman) Grasso, Essex, Connecticut. N.B. The work is registered as no. 871-167 by the Yves Tanguy Committee of the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation, and the work will be included in the forthcoming revised edition of the Yves Tanguy catalogue raisonné. Paris-born Tanguy immigrated to the United States at the onset of war in 1939 and settled in New England with his American wife, painter Kay Sage. When Tanguy was asked in 1946 about how his American work differed from his European work, he pointed to an intensification of his color palette and “a feeling of greater space here—more ‘room’.”1 Roland Penrose elaborated on Tanguy’s comment, nothing that “his palette changed in the sense that the earth colors began to give place to more strident reds and blues and the sea mists cleared in the intense sparkling light of New England.”2 Penrose also noted a change in style from Tanguy’s animated biomorphism of the 1930s to more rigid and stark forms. The present work is punctuated with the bold colors noted, as well sharply-outlined, ossified forms which suggest that the viewer is looking at cast-offs instead of living inhabitants of the space. 1.

Bronze, 31 1/2 in. (80.0 cm) diameter, set on a cast acrylic plinth. Condition: Minor surface abrasions to bronze and acrylic surfaces. Provenance: Purchased from Marlborough Galleria d’Arte, Rome; collection of Melvin B. Nessel, Boston, Massachusetts. Literature: Flaminio Gualdoni and Arnaldo Pomodoro, Arnaldo Pomodoro: Catalogo ragionato della scultura, Milan: Skira, 2007, p. 524, no. 396 (illustrated); Sam Hunter, Arnaldo Pomodoro, New York: Abbeville Press, 1982, no. 76 (final edition illustrated). N.B. The present work is one of two artist proofs outside the edition of two, and is registered with the Archivio Arnaldo Pomodoro, Milan, Italy, as AP 263. We wish to thank the Arnaldo Pomodoro Studio for their assistance with cataloguing the lot. Pomodoro began his experiments with “sculpture in the round” in the mid-1950s, moving away from his carved bas-relief “tablets” toward penetrable, free-standing geometric volumes. This development for Pomodoro was less a result of technical innovation than it was a search for “a more dialectical process of both constructing and destroying geometric forms.”1 Pomodoro considered his bas-relief carving to represent a form of abstract “writing,” and his search into the limit of this kind of symbolic representation resulted in experiments with depth and surface. By 1963, Pomodoro created his first sphere, which allowed him to express his “glyphs” in terms of an interior and exterior dynamic. Inspired by Brancusi’s use of polished surfaces to unify a form, Pomodoro appropriated the highly polished exterior to underscore the sphere’s built-up and torn-down interior—and thus its disintegration of form. As in the present work, plaster debris from the casting process left deliberately on the interior points to its own genesis, and yet, its crumbling texture alludes to its demise. Pomodoro saw his “surface erosions and irregularities as symbols of the destructive impulse” in a technological age where the “drama of erosion captures the sense of foreboding, of a certain anxiety about the course of events at that time in our history.”2 1. Hunter, Sam, Pomodoro, New York: Abbeville Press, 1982, p. 194. 2. Ibid., 52, 57.

to be a contradiction in both classicism and “primitive directness.” His works showed “restraint and discipline” and “dedication to order and form” but his technique and materials—which consisted of reclaiming and reconfiguring industrial materials—were handled with the “respect a cave artist gave the casual materials of his day.”1

Provenance: Collection of Melvin B. Nessel, Boston, Massachusetts.

The raw innovation and balance that Sweeney spoke of can be seen in the present work, where the surfaces have been exposed to the elements, and the basic geometric forms of circle and square are repeated, rotated, and suspended in space. It was completed at the artist's home and studio at Viale Parioli, and is a larger version based on a prototype created in 1967.2
