in News
Larsen Art Auction

Larsen Art Auction Spring Sale Will Be Held Saturday, April 26th, Beginning at 10AM

Larsen Gallery specializes in consigning fine art for sale by established artists with existing gallery and auction markets with an emphasis on contemporary art. The gallery has been in business for over thirty (30) years assisting private, corporate, and institutional collectors to sell their art collections on the secondary market. The gallery also hosts biannual auctions every April and October.

The gallery occupies a 5400 square foot space in the heart of Scottsdale downtown art district where we display artwork available for sale as well as host the auctions. Larsen Art Auction holds auction records for 147 artists and our extensive client base is from most every state in the U.S. and 50 countries globally.

As the gallery has the flexibility to consign artwork for sale in the gallery or for our annual auctions, we can meet the demands of collectors and Estates wishing to sell works. There are no hidden fees to consign with us in the gallery or at our auctions with complete transparency of costs. We ask that you remit images and information on works you wish to sell to consignments@larsengallery.com and we will get back to you with interest and pricing.

Our Spring Larsen Art Auction is held live in person and bidders can also stream and bid the auction online at liveauctioneers and invaluable. We also accept telephone and absentee bidding. Please visit Larsen Art Auction to view all the lots and register to bid for the auction.

Over 125 Ceramic Works Being Offered at Larsen Art Auction

Works in the sale from the Lyndall D. Eddy and Phillip W. Wagoner collection include four works by Karen Karnes, three vessels from Michael Simon, a gorgeous vase by Paul Soldner, four works from Don Reitz and a selection of works by Kenneth Ferguson including his Mermaid Basket.

Lyndall comments “From earth, water and air creative hands fashioned objects that would be enhanced by the unpredictable magic of fire in a kiln.” The objects in their collection range from the simplicity of containers for corn, bowls for tea, large sculptures for the garden, challenges to the industrial and nuclear industry, political protests, to the humor of a frog in a taco by David Gilhooly and the incomparable mastery of technique that produced the silken feelie by Rose Cabat. Their passion for ceramics, like the Golner’s, was inspired by visits to art galleries and museums, kiln openings by artists and surrounding themselves with other ceramic collectors.

Over one hundred works in the upcoming sale are from the Midge and Jerry Golner collection, based in Phoenix, Arizona and most recently Helena, Montana. The Golners were major supporters of the artists from the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts and gathered inspiration to collect clay by frequent visits to the ASU Ceramic Research Center in Tempe, Arizona.

The Golner Collection has challenging and disquieting works such as Beth Cavener’s Small Lives consisting of life size jackrabbits, Maryanne Webster’s Good Twin Evil Twin, Richard Notkin’s Tea set Iraq and Akio Takamori’s Untitled (Head with Glasses on Baby Body). Other artists in the collection include David Gilhooly, Sergei Isupov, Kevin Snipes and two powerful works by Sunkoo Yuh.

Many of the works in the Golner collection were acquired by young, emerging artists who were doing residencies at Archie Bray. The collection has many utilitarian works such as elegant porcelain works by Karen Swyler, functional works by Sarah Jaeger along with teapots and cups including works by Chris Staley, Kurt Weiser, Eric Van Eimeren and Ron Meyers.

The collection was the true passion of Midge Golner with her husband declaring she had caught “the fever” to collect clay. Midge did not need advice from galleries or advisors, she had a true eye and followed her instincts by adding such important artists as David Shaner, Hoshino Satoru, Jun Kaneko, Chis Antemann, Rose Cabat and Toshiko Takaezu to name a few. The collection includes three works by Bobbie Silverman, a monumental work by Cheryl Tall, a Michael Gross column and a large outdoor vessel by Don Reitz.

This sale will include over 125 ceramic works immersed among our other 375 lots in the sale including paintings, sculptures, limited edition graphics, and photography.
