Newport Modern

We’re really excited about this latest find, a Vintage Wall Sculpture of the New York City Skyline done in the Paul Evans style by Finesse Productions. The city is constructed of a metal and the wood looking back is actually all made out of fiberglass, very unique! It measures a whopping 37 1/2″ tall and 59 1/2″ wide, in great condition.

Here is a fantastic Mid-Century Modern Brass & Stone Sculpture of Sea Birds in Flight by the renowned modernist designer Curtis Jere! It measures 20″ tall and is in great original condition. It has some stress cracking where the two birds wings meet, but this is not a repair, it was most likely done while it was being formed, not in any danger of breaking, etc. It is signed “C. Jere” on one wing.

Here’s a stunning c.1969 Signed Artist Proof Print by the famous Japanese-American artist Mayumi Oda, titled ‘Frost Night’! The visible paper size measures approx. 12 3/4″ wide and 18″ tall, and the frame is 18 1/4″ wide by 25 1/4″ tall. It has terrific color and detail and is a fantastic example of Mayumi’s work and this is a very early example at that!

I have not come across any other Artist Proof’s by her and her limited edition (50/ed) prints range in aftermarket auction value from $700 to several thousand dollars. So do not miss the opportunity to own a rare singular example of her work!

Below is some information on Mayumi Oda:

Known to many as the “Matisse of Japan”, Mayumi Oda has done extensive work with female goddess imagery. Born to a Buddhist family in Japan in 1941, Mayumi studied fine art and traditional Japanese fabric dying. In 1966 she graduatied from Tokyo University of Fine Arts. Mayumi’s unique apprenticeship dying fabric for kimonos influences the color and composition of all of her work.

From 1969 to the present Mayumi has exhibited over 40 one-woman shows throughout the world. Her artwork is also part of the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art – New York, The Museum of Fine Arts – Boston, Yale University Art Gallery – New Haven, Library of Congress – Washington D.C. and many others.
