Six Lots Worth a Second Look, From the Hudson River to the Color Field

Showplace's fall sale in New York pairs eras that rarely share a room: nineteenth-century American landscape painting on one end, post-war abstraction on the other. The six lots singled out for the sale trace that full arc, from the quiet discipline of a painted hillside to the looser hand of mid-century experiment. It is the kind of range that rewards a walk through the preview rather than a glance at the catalog cover. For collectors weighing where their eye actually lands, that span is the point.
