Hear what people are saying about Thomaston Place Auction Galleries What a wonderful experience I had recently! I cannot say enough about the professional and friendly staff, from the start all the way thru shipping it was handled with so much care and it was like I was a big part of the Auction although my purchase was not a huge one. It is very refreshing to deal with people that actually care! I highly recommend this Auction House and will certainly be back in the future.

—Anonymous A top-notch New England auction house with real treasures regularly offered.

Staff went above and beyond to help with shipping.

—Axel h.

I had a very good experience with my purchase. The staff were friendly and helpful during the bidding process. The item I purchased was exactly as stated in the auction guide. I do not live in Maine and chose to use the shipper suggested by Thomaston Place.

It allowed me to avoid state sales tax on my purchase. In addition, I didn’t have to get involved in coordinating the transfer of the item from the auction house to the shipper.

Thomaston Place stressed that buyers had the option to use their own shipper [but] the shipping arrangements offered through [the auction house] worked well for me.

—Nancy h.

The best auction house I have dealt with!

ABOUT THe ARTIST

With nicknames like Thomas “ Yellowstone” Moran and the “American Turner,” Hudson River School artist, and artist of the American West, Thomas Moran was perhaps the most influential artist of his generation.

The combination of Turner’s color and style, along with the mysticism of the American West would be the foundation for his art, fame, and even the shaping of the country. Moran’s work would be a deciding factor in 1872 when the US Congress set aside land in Yellowstone as the first National Park.

Born and educated in Chicago at the Art Institute, painter Jessie Hazel Arms Botke, is best known for her highly decorative paintings of birds, “especially elegant plumages of peacocks” highlighted with the use of gold leaf.

Heavily influenced by her work as a tapestry designer, the artist eventually settled in southern California where she was an exhibiting member and secretary of the prestigious California Art Club.

ABOUT THe ARTIST

With membership in the National Academy of Design, solo art exhibitions at Smith College of Art, Fort Wayne Art Museum, and the Farnsworth Art Museum, and an honorary Doctorate from Bates College in 1957, Thon's resume is impressive.

His style was largely self-taught through experimentation and exploration.

He widely traveled in his younger days, but found the greatest influence in Port Clyde, Maine where is began living shortly after World War II. It is in Maine where Thon began working in the more abstract, yet identifiable, work he is best known for. And he was prolific, even continuing to work after macular degeneration had left him legally blind. As mentioned, Thons’ work is just beginning to get the recognition which seems well earned. Thomaston Place Auction Galleries has the record price of $14,000 for one of Thons’ oil paintings (8/29/21).

ABOUT THe ARTIST

Synonymous with Pop Art, Andy Warhol’s early years were in Pennsylvania, studying at the Carnegie Institute of Technology where he received a BFA. Warhol would move to New York in 1949 and soon would obtain success as a commercial illustrator. By 1960 he began producing paintings and drawings of highly recognizable commercial products like Coca-Cola and Campbell's soup cans, with his first solo show in 1962.

Eventually substituting these early drawings with the readily reproducible silk screen process, Warhol was intentionally blurring the line between commercial illustration and fine art. His famed studio, “The Factory” industrialized the art process itself by lifting the commonplace and elevating it to art. By the 1970s after surviving an assassination attempt, Warhol's art largely shifted to portrait work of the rich and famous. All with bold color, hard lines, and easily recognizable subject matter, Andy Warhol became as famous as the subjects portrayed.

ABOUT THe ARTIST

Widely considered one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Spaniard Pablo Picasso was primarily a painter although he worked in a multitude of media, even ceramics. Residing in France for most of his adult life, Picasso is credited with co-founding the cubist movement, inventing constructed sculpture, and co-inventing collage. His work ranges from realism to surrealism, is often categorized by dominance of hue (i.e., blue period) or theme (like his later works with African masks), but Picasso was always working and the very definition of prolific. Living to an elderly age of 91, Time Magazine summarized his life best in a 1980 publication stating that “To the end.... Picasso remained Picasso; an indefatigable worker, a lover of mischief and pranks, quirky, increasingly aloof, mercurial, yet often remarkably generous and warm.”

ABOUT THe ARTIST

Renowned Cape Cod artist whose early works were traditional painted furniture in the style of Dutch and Swedish work.

As his popularity grew, clients requested more 2-dimensional art and it was at this time that Cahoon began painting 3195 in his own style many of the mermaid images he is known for. Still working in a folk style, he would paint mermaids doing anything from playing golf to having surgery. These paintings were, at first, executed on plywood, but later he found that Masonite better resembled the furniture surface he was accustomed to working on.

His work was highly sought after during the latter half of his life and continues to sell well at auction today.

Waldo Peirce owned an ancestral home in Frankfort, Maine. His family went back five or six generations. $5,000-10,000

ABOUT THe ARTIST

By all accounts, a colorful character, even dubbed “America’s Renoir,” Waldo Peirce was a prominent artist and one of the best-known expatriates running in social 3250 circles with Earnest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. An American Field service volunteer two years prior to the US entry into World War I, many of Hemingway's written accounts of ambulance driving during the war are Peirce’s firsthand experiences. This Maine native painted in much the way he lived as his paintings are bold, colorful, and often have an unfinished look to them. Although having said late in life that he never worked a day in his life, 50 years of prolific paintings he left us with prove otherwise.

4) Condition Reports for items may be requested. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner however, we cannot guarantee that a request submitted will be answered prior to the auction date. Neither TPAG nor its consignor makes any guarantee or warranty with regards to these reports. It is the buyer’s responsibility to examine each item and make their own assessment prior to the auction.

5) All items are sold for display purposes. If electrical, mechanical or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, TPAG is not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of antiques and items.

6) Goods made from or containing materials from protected species — TPAG does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or

Such materials include, but are not limited to ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder.

All buyers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions and licensing on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale.

A. If payment is not received 30 days from the sale, there will be a 1.5% per month surcharge added to the total invoice, and; B. If no credit card is available or if payment has not been received within 30 days, TPAG will pursue alternate collection avenues in order to collect the balance due plus any storage, administrative, collection, attorney and/or court fees.

28) On completion of payment TPAG will help coordinate shipping. Please contact TPAG with any questions.

29) If either someone else other than the buyer, or a shipper other than one represented on the invoice, will be picking up auction items, the buyer must inform us in advance so we may release the items.

New England’s Trusted Auction & Appraisal Professionals

SOLD: $13,200 This miniature Persian Qur’an was brought to us on Free Appraisal Day. The consignor’s father was a US diplomat who purchased it as a gift for his wife in the 1950s. The octagonal banner box, set with semi-precious stones, contained an octagonal Qur’an with gilt leather covers. At auction, this unique and rare item started a bidding war that far exceeded the consignor’s expectations!
