BEACHWOOD, Ohio â A small collection of paintings attributed to the Indian artist Purkhu of Kangra (active circa 1780-1820), two paintings by the Indian artist Badri Narayan (1929-2013), and a 17th century Shah-nameh (or
Book of Kings, Iranâs central literary work) are all part of Neue Auctionsâ online-only fine art and antiques auction planned for Saturday, February 20th.
The sale â nicknamed A Neue Year Auction â will begin promptly at 11 am Eastern time and features 323 lots of paintings, sculptures, decorative objects, fine furniture, Persian carpets and the auctionâs headliner: the very fine paintings from India. Internet bidding will be facilitated by Liveauctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Bidsquare.com. Phone and absentee bids are accepted.
Also up for bid will be fine art, sculptures, decorative objects, fine furniture, Persian carpets and more. The online auction starts at 11 am Eastern time.
When great private collections come to auction, even those closest to the owner tend to discover unseen treasures stashed away for decades. However, for the estate of late journalist and author Julia Reed, to be offered online in Neal Auction’s Important Winter Estates Auction February 5–7, that general truism likely won’t bear out. “Julia didn’t just like to collect things and let them gather dust. She used them all in service to her incredible hospitality and generosity,” Keith Meacham, Reed’s dear friend and a fellow Mississippi native, tells AD PRO. Consistent with her munificence, all proceeds from the sale will benefit the Julia Evans Reed Charitable Trust, which partners with nonprofits to support those in need of housing, education, food, and more.

Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts
We mounted a Charles Burchfield and William Hunt Diederich exhibition at a TEFAF fair a few years back, where a dealer visited our booth with images of what he thought might be architectural works by Diederich. The images depicted his classic flat, iron, silhouette animal forms with dozens of whimsical birds and desert plants. Everything looked “right,” but we had never seen anything by the artist on this grand scale. Our research traced the provenance to a 1920s commission for a town house in New York, and when we visited the town house we were able to identify other examples of the artist’s
