Bonhams Prepares Online Editions Print Auction Featuring Landacre Collection

Bonhams' upcoming "Online Editions: Featuring Important Landacre Prints from Delmer Daves" presents an array of graphic works spanning centuries of printmaking. Among the highlights is Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn's delicate etching The Ringball Player, which carries an estimate of $4,000 to $6,000. Modernist masterworks include Pierre-Auguste Renoir's lithograph L'Enfant au Biscuit (Jean Renoir) (Child with Biscuit), also estimated at $4,000 to $6,000, which radiates the warmth of early childhood. Mid-century and contemporary sensibilities are represented by Jesús Rafael Soto's kinetic Multiple II, from Jai-Alai Suite, Grant Wood's regionalist lithograph July Fifteenth, Pablo Picasso's classical illustration Cinésias et Myrrhine (Cinesias and Myrrhine), pl. 3, from Lysistrata, Joan Miró's surrealist Les Pénalités de l'enfer ou les nouvelles-hébrides (The Penalties of Hell or the New Hebrides), Ed Ruscha's text-driven print Music, and Victor Vasarely's op-art screenprint Zoeld Red/Gray.

This online auction follows a busy summer at Bonhams, which recently concluded several notable sales in July. These include the California, Western & Hawaiian Art Online auction, which realized $379,085, and the highly successful The Art of Hawaiʻi sale, which brought in $1,706,798.
