Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following items:
Norman Rockwell oil on canvas painting of Richard Nixon, signed ”Norman / Rockwell” at lower right. Painting is the study for ”Mr. President (Richard Nixon)”, which resides in the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, and was published in the 4 February 1969 issue of ”Look” magazine, captioned ”Weighed, yet buoyed, by the American past and present, Richard M. Nixon, 37th President, faces the future in this Rockwell portrait”.
Rockwell painted this study in late 1968 of then President-Elect Richard Nixon, a man whose portrait he found ”elusive” but whose features here are unmistakenly Nixon, revealing at the same time both the guardedness and warmth of the 37th President. As the premiere portraitist of the 20th century, one would expect no less from Rockwell. Oil on canvas measures 14” x 11”. Provenance is from Judy Goffman Fine Art of New York, and then subsequently the Charles E. Sigety Collection. Exhibited at the Mississippi Museum of Art in ”Norman Rockwell: The Great American Storyteller” from 2 March-15 May 1988, no. 64. Painting is in very good condition, with a stretcher bar mark along upper edge. Wax lined, with no inpainting. Sold for $125,000.

Richmond Barthé Bronze Sculpture of Féral Benga — The Sculptor’s Most Famous Work, and a Hallmark of the Harlem Renaissance
Richmond Barthe bronze sculpture of Feral Benga, representing the zenith of Barthe’s figurative work, and a hallmark of the Harlem Renaissance. Completed in 1935, Barthe sculpted this full-body nude of the cabaret dancer Benga after seeing him perform at the Folies Bergeres in Paris the previous year. The lines are both strong and graceful, expressing the power of a black man raising high a sword, contrasted with the elegant movements of a dancer. Its importance to the canon of African-American art is such that it was included in the landmark “The Negro in Art”, published in 1940. Signed “Barthe” upon the base, sculpture was cast circa 1960 at the Modern Art Foundry in New York. Sculpture measures 19″ not including marble base. Near fine. With provenance from the Ascension Gallery in Washington DC. Sold for $47,500.
