Philip Weiss Auctions will offer a Girlando Marsiglia Painting in their multi-estate sale slated for the weekend of Jan. 22-24, 2010.
“Girlando Marsiglia was one of the fifteen founders of the National Academy and a renowned Hudson River School painter,” Mr. Weiss pointed out. “The work we are selling comes with an actual daguerreotype of Marsiglia — an astounding fact by itself — plus a sterling silver box that was brought to America by him in 1828 and later engraved in 1885. I can’t overemphasize the importance of this lot.”
Other artworks being offered include:
Gustav Prucha (1875-1952), the Austrian painter; Karl Felix (U.S./Austrian, 1837-1906), known for his landscapes, figural paintings and sculptures; Leonardo Nierman (N.Y./Mexican, b. 1932), an abstract expressionist also known for sculptures and murals; Samuel Chaffee (Am., 1850-1930), a painter of landscapes and coastal views; and Frederick Matzow (Conn., 1861-1938), a landscape artist.
Other artists of note include John C. Hare (Mass./Fla., 1908-1978), known for his watercolor seascape paintings and rural scenes; Philip R. Morris (U.K., 1838-1902), a landscape painter also known for genre and allegorical works; Mary G. Ascher (N.Y./U.K., 1900-1988), an abstract painter and printmaker); and Yolande Ardissone (Fr., b. 1927), known for landsacapes, still lifes and marine works.
