This afternoon, I previewed the lots including works from Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Tom Wesselmann, Robert Rauschenberg, R.M. Schindler, Ed Ruscha, Greta Grossman, Karel Appel, Louise Nevelson, Charles Eames, Claes Oldenburg, and Richard Neutra to name a few. The design auction market continues to gain momentum. "Last year our sales reached $8.5 million, nearly doubling our previous record of $4.5 million set in 2008,” stated Peter Loughrey. Further, LAMA recently named Dan Tolson as the new Director of 20th Century Decorative Art & Design. As an interior designer, I look to LAMA for knowledge & expertise, and their selection of international design + art. I've included a selection of photographs of works that caught my attention on today's preview. LAMA's <a href="http://lamodern.auctionserver.net/view-auctions/catalog/id/8/">catalog is online here,</a> and the preview is ongoing, till their May 6th Auction. See you there! - David John <a href="http://youhavebeenheresometime.blogspot.com/2010/10/yhbhs-interview-peter-loughrey-pioneer.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Read Peter Loughrey's interview with YHBHS here, from 2010:</a> "Peter Loughrey was raised in rural Maryland by antique-collecting parents. He has early memories of visiting antique shops and decorative arts museums; both were slow and deliberative compared to the fast pace of auctions." <a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7268/7136976317_1e285dac09_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7268/7136976317_1e285dac09_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 702px; height: 925px;" /></a> <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7058/7137038463_25122c1573_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7058/7137038463_25122c1573_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 981px;" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;">Greta Magnusson Grossman Desk with rare top storage unit Glenn of California designed 1952 Model no.6200 and 6200A, Est: $10,000 - $15,000 </div> <a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6990891808_fb8eb52d02_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7048/6990891808_fb8eb52d02_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 905px;" /></a> <div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"> Charlotte Perriand Pair of Perriand stools plus one of a simlilar style, Galerie Sentou designed 1970 Mahogany </div> <a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7124/6990891530_6fc2e7ee01_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7124/6990891530_6fc2e7ee01_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 984px;" /></a> <div style="text-align: center;"> Le Corbusier!!!!

LAMA holds four auctions a year, plus occasional exhibits that are open to the public. From the casual buyer to the most dedicated collector, LAMA auctions offer quality, vetted modern material in every price range, including paintings, prints, furniture, and decorative objects. With 25 years experience in the modern art and design field, LAMA has carved a niche into the international market through milestone auctions featuring artists and designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Paul Laszlo, Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, and R.M. Schindler. LAMA has also conducted auctions for prominent California estates, including those of James Prestini, James Byrnes, and Max Palevsky. From a single work of art to an entire estate, LAMA is quickly becoming the choice auction house on the West Coast to buy and sell Modern Art & Design." ---------------- </div></div>

“Well, I’ll confess something. I like happy art. And you’ll notice most of the art is happy.” - Richard Dorso <div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6091442441_52ae8a1d62_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6091442441_52ae8a1d62_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 700px; height: 467px;" /></a> image: Richard Dorso's Los Angeles home. Photography © Grant Mudford.</div> YHBHS & LAMA! For the next month, I'll be sharing lots of images, related interviews, & events regarding an interior space I have created for LAMA's next auction. The YHBHS exhibition space will be open to the public beginning September 19, until the day of the auction, October 9, 2011. The space is getting close to being installed, painted, wallpapered with <a href="http://kremelife.com/">KREME papers</a>, furniture selected, & all soon to be photographed! Please check it out in person if you are in Los Angeles. When Peter Loughrey, Director of LAMA, first showed me the photographs of Richard Dorso's L.A. home, I was immediately transported by his collection & the story his residence told about the forms and colors of 60s California art. I'm creating a temporary open space inspired by the geometrical, hard-edged works from Dorso's collection by Baldessari, McCracken, Ruscha, Arnoldi, and many other early California artists. Lots more to share in the next weeks. - David John "<a href="http://lamodern.com/">Los Angeles Modern Auctions</a> (LAMA) and You Have Been Here Sometime (YHBHS) will partner together to produce a special interior showcase for LAMA’s Pacific Standard Time exhibit Collecting in Los Angeles 1945 – 1980. This 3 week exhibit explores the collecting practices of Richard Dorso, a native Californian, who at age 101 left behind a unique art collection spanning much of the 20th century. The exhibit will conclude with an auction of the entire collection on October 9, 2011." Auction: October 9, 2011; 12pm Noon (PST) Pacific Standard Time Exhibition Preview: September 19 – October 8, 2011. Open daily 10am – 6pm Auction, Exhibit.
