Title Round Whitney Oldenburg Safe and Sound , 2023 Charcoal on paper 26 x 19 ½ inches Courtesy the artist and CHART NY Estimated Retail Value: $4,000 Starting Bid: $2,000 Whitney Oldenburg’s work explores the complex relationship between humans, objects, time, and change in contemporary culture. Incorporating personal belongings and found materials, her monumental, labor-intensive sculptures examine the emotional and psychological weight carried by material possessions, prompting viewers to reconsider how these attachments shape our lives and relationships. In addition to sculpture, Oldenburg’s expressive charcoal drawings also consider accumulation, compression, and entropy, echoing forms that suggest fossils, skeletal structures, and organic growth. Although the title suggests calm, the circling imagery of Safe and Sound alludes to ongoing, even dizzying change. Works like this one reflect on life cycles and the human instinct to preserve and create stability within uncertain conditions and evolving states of nature. +sign up to proxy bid return to auction menu More: Whitney Oldenburg Whitney Oldenburg (b. 1987, Jacksonville, FL; lives and works in New York, NY) received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Jul 14-Sep 30, 2018 Josh Kline Civil War Josh Kline’s immersive dystopian installation at MOCA Cleveland is a major component of his 2017 project Civil War . MOCA’s presentation of Kline’s work is a monochrome ash-colored environment, featuring a group of gray sculptures that appear to be piles of concrete rubble. The life-size sculptures are made of hundreds of highly-detailed casts of broken and shredded everyday domestic objects including furniture, appliances, tools and children’s toys. Together, they form a dark sci-fi vision of America’s middle-class aspirations as shattered ruins in the aftermath of a near-future civil war. Kline’s larger project Civil War looks ahead to the possible consequences in the coming decades of deteriorating democratic institutions in the United States against a backdrop of mass unemployment due to automation and artificial intelligence.

Title Round Catherine Lentini Untitled , 2023 Acrylic on canvas 48 x 42 inches Courtesy of Abattoir Gallery Estimated Retail Value: $6,000 Starting Bid: $3,000 Drawing on Color Field painting, hard-edge abstraction, and Op art, Catherine Lentini creates work that engages visual perception through alternating stripes in vibrant hues, producing optical mixtures and a sense of movement. While rooted in mid-century abstraction, her paintings connect to today’s sociopolitical climate, reflecting anxieties around renewed global instability and the return of 1970s-era conditions—from nuclear tensions to rising costs of living. Lentini links these concerns to her formal language while extending them through a contemporary, neo-conceptual lens, incorporating influences from famed artists Richard Anuszkiewicz and Ed Mieczkowski alongside visual cues drawn from everyday public design, such as street signage and gas stations. +sign up to proxy bid return to auction menu More: Catherine Lentini Catherine Lentini (lives and works in Cleveland, Ohio) earned her BA from Bennington College and her MFA from Kent State University. Lentini has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions across the United States, including presentations at Abattoir Gallery (Cleveland), Morgan Lehman Gallery (New York), and galleries and institutions in Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco. Her work is held in numerous private collections and has been featured in publications such as New American Paintings .

Unfortunately, those who lend a 'helping hand' aren't always who they appear to be. Stina Aleah's "Helping" Hands reminds audiences not to allow anyone to suppress their voice, authenticity, or light. In her own words, "I hope that this collection of work can inspire those to look beyond what is perceived as 'Helping Hands,' stay true to one's authentic self, and always to stand true in who you are." After suffering a sports-related injury, Stina Aleah turned to art. She discovered that creativity aided her physical and mental healing. Stina Aleah's passion for art and storytelling is an essential part of her identity and career as a self-taught painter. Her life experiences inspire breathtaking oil paintings. Aleah has collaborated with major corporations, Emmy nominated television series, celebrities, galleries, and exhibitions to date. Her work continues to be collected both nationally and internationally. Presented in partnership w/ About the Artist Stina Aleah Stina Aleah More about Stina Aleah at stinaaleah.com .
