March Art & Design Auction
Hughes Auctions presents the March Art & Design Auction on Sunday, March 29th at 10:00 AM PDT, offering collectors a exceptional opportunity to acquire works across a broad range of categories. The 222 lots encompass Fine Art, Midcentury Furniture, Decorative Arts, Estate Jewelry & Silver, Vintage Lighting & Design, and Timepieces, a breadth of material that reflects the diversity of 20th Century art & design. Prospective bidders are encouraged to attend the in-person preview on Wednesday, March 25th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at 8059 Foothill Blvd, Sunland, CA 91040. Fine art and works on paper merit particular attention, with signed, numbered screenprints by Richard Anuszkiewicz (1930-2020), a seminal figure in the Op Art movement whose print practice extended the visual investigations of perceptual abstraction into the multiples market, alongside limited-edition series prints by Evelyn B. Johnson and original oils and watercolors by regional American painters. Decorative arts and design are equally well represented, with Midcentury modern furniture, designer armchairs, vintage Lladro porcelain, cloisonne vases, and sterling silver serving pieces among the highlights. Featured lots include Edwin Roscoe Schrader's framed forest landscape in oil on canvas (Lot 133, est. $1,500?$3,000), whose works are held in numerous regional collections; a signed geometric abstract on paper by the celebrated Japanese-American printmaker and painter George Joji Miyasaki (Lot 303, est. $1,500-$3,000); a carved wood sculpture by the long-celebrated Los Angeles artist Ynez Johnston (Lot 299, est. $1,500-$3,000), depicting a creature rendered in her signature pictorial idiom; a monumental cast aluminum abstract attributed to MFA-trained, WWII-veteran sculptor Val Welman (Lot 289, est. $1,500-$3,000); and a quietly lyrical desert landscape in oil on canvas by contemporary California painter Phoebe Brunner, Honey From a Weed, 1997 (Lot 295, est. $1,000-$2,000).Bidder Reviews for Hughes Auctions (178)

Highly responsive and helpful
Recommend without hesitation. Hughes quickly replied to all questions before and after sale. Very helpful throughout. Turnaround on shipping was much faster than my experience with other auction houses.
