Heritage's May 19 American Art Auction Spans the Category's Spectrum, from Rockwell to Gilliam
Heritage’s May 19 American Art Signature® Auction presents a tightly edited and deeply considered survey of the category, bringing together masterworks that trace the evolution of American art from the 19th century through the modern era. Anchored by exceptional examples of illustration, Western painting and postwar abstraction, the sale reflects both the historical depth of the field and its continued expansion.
“This auction really captures the full breadth of what defines American Art today,” says Aviva Lehmann, Heritage’s Deputy Chairman of Fine Art. “We’ve brought together a focused, high-quality group of works that moves from the Hudson River School through to artists like Sam Gilliam, whose inclusion reflects how the category continues to evolve in meaningful and thoughtful ways.”
That evolution builds on the momentum of Heritage’s previous American Art sale, which totaled just under $15 million and saw particularly strong demand for Golden Age illustration. This season, that strength is once again a defining feature, with a focused emphasis on works on paper and the enduring power of narrative image-making.

Bidding Tutorial

Bid Protection
Bid Protection allows you to ensure you are not outbid by automatically increasing your bid to the next full increment if you are outbid during the live event. This protects you from being "sniped" by a single increment. Bid Protection can be entered on all items except the current lot and the next upcoming lot in a Live Auction.
Note: The extra increment won't be placed until the item is up for live bidding, so it is possible that you could be outbid by a bid placed prior to live bidding, such as another proxy bid, live proxy bid, mail bid, etc., which could result in your losing the lot by that one increment. For the same reason, it is also possible that a currently losing bid with bid protection placed could potentially win the lot once the lot is subject to live bidding and the Bid Protection increment(s) is placed. |
Buyer's premium
A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for bids placed with Heritage for this Auction is 25% of the successful bid (minimum $49) per lot.. |
|
Heritage Live! |
Heritage Live! allows you to place late proxy bids and compete live against the auction floor from your PC or mobile device*. We recommend placing proxy bids before the live session in the unlikely event either side experiences technical problems during the auction.
Note: Proxy bidding ends ten minutes prior to the session start time. Live Proxy bidding on Heritage Live now starts within 2 hours of when the auction opens for proxy bidding and continues through the live session. |
