Shannon's Fine Art Auctioneers will present their annual Fall Fine Art Auction on Thursday, October 24th, at 6 pm Eastern time. The sale will take place live online at shannons.com, with bidding also available by telephone and absentee. Shannon’s has become the leading auction house for American art and this season proves their strength in attracting quality consignments in this genre. The firm secured 15 paintings from a major private collection of American art. Many of the paintings from this group are fresh-to-the-market, having been in private hands for decades. The top lot from this collection is an exceptional Alfred Thompson Bricher, titled Morning at Narragansett – The Turn of the Tide (1871), estimated at $150,000-$200,000. This masterful, Luminist painting depicts a mother with her two children enjoying a day at the beach, young boys playing in the gentle waves, and a couple walking in the sand. Shannon’s has sold over 100 paintings by A.T. Bricher and company owner Sandra Germain said this is “easily among the best work by Bricher I have ever seen.” An in-person preview of all the works featured in the auction will be on display weekdays on October 14-23 and on Saturday, October 19th. Shannon’s is one of the few auction houses still producing richly illustrated color catalogs to promote their offerings. The eagerly anticipated catalog will be available in October. Contact the auction house or sign up for the mailing list online. The fall auction at Shannon’s will feature 183 lots of paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture.
