Lot 330		Vincent Van Gogh. IRISES. Original oil on canvas reproduction of surprising quality. Goldberg Auctions has made an exception in the sale of this reproduction as it came from a Beverly Hills art gallery in the 1980s-90s that sold very fine original reproductions of masterworks. The Getty Museum acquired IRISES in 1990 in a private treaty sale which proved quite newsworthy given the circumstance of the original sale of the painting only two years prior. No doubt this fueled interest in creating a fine reproduction. Oil on canvas measures 30 x 40" and very nicely framed in gilt wood to 37 x 47". Goldberg Auctions is pleased to offer this work at considerably less than the estimated 70 million the other IRISES was paid for by The Getty. Due to size, local pick-up or outside shipping recommended. This is a fantastic reproduction and worth every effort to have on exhibit in home or office. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Realized $1,200
Lot 331		J. Barrowman. CIRCUS. Striking oil on canvas by an artist we could not find much biographical information regarding. But this abstract composition is exceptionally appealing, a bit mysterious until one recognizes the sheer joy of performance: elaborately costumed performers, fabric swirling about them, the spotlights just catching their image. It so captures the excitement of a Cirque du Soleil-like performance one would think it was created for the production. Stretched canvas, no frame, painting measures 35 x 23", and is in excellent condition. A wonderful piece. Estimated Value $600 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Unsold

Lot 336		Artist Unknown: "Judith Slaying Holofernes" Late 18th-Early 19th Century Neoclassical Period. From the Book of Judith, a parable of a valorous and beautiful widow, Judith, who is at odds with her fellow Jews for not trusting in God to deliver them from their foreign conquerors. Along with her loyal maidservant, she enters the camp of the enemy Assyrian general, Holofernes who was sent by Nebuchadnezza to occupy the countries along the seacoast of The Western World, destroy all their gods and worship Nebuchadnezza alone. Judith earns Holofernes' favor promising him information on the Israelites. After gaining his trust, one night she is allowed access to his elaborate tent and finding him drunk, she decapitates him. The Assyrians having lost their commander and leader and saving Israel. Great story but no evidence as an accurate historical telling. Nevertheless this story is the subject of countless artistic interpretations by artists spanning centuries including many great masters including Gentileschi, Caravaggio (spectacularly Baroque) Baglione, even an Art Nouveau interpretation by Gustav Klimt. Very much in the Neoclassical period/style comes this powerful unsigned oil on canvas of some age. For over 50 years this painting hung at a estate in Tennessee, and came to us dulled from light grime and cigar smoke. Professionally cleaned and examined for issues by Centurian Fine Art Restoration here in Los Angeles, this striking work now displays beautifully, the subtleties in color and tone fully apparent. Cleaning also revealed a couple of very small areas of restoration expertly executed many decades past. Canvas measures 38½ x 29" and is framed to 46 x 36" in gilt wood. A dramatic work and a fine centerpiece for a distinct home, library or gallery. Estimated Value $2,500 - UP From The Ora Eads Collection. View details and enlarged photo	Unsold

(1907-1903) Finnish immigrant who settled in Boston and in 1927 attended the prestigious School of Fine Arts was not only a fine painter, but also a technical illustrator for Raytheon during WWII, his illustrations proving so exact that they appeared to many to be photographs.

Remarkably, the original exhibition tag for this piece still exists on back of painting. 24th Swedish American Art Exhibition, Chicago, April 6-13, 1947 with the title of the work and a price of $400 (over $4600.00 today.)

Lot 340		Birket Foster (Myles): Popular English Watercolorist and Illustrator of the Victorian Era.

His works were recognized for their detail and execution and so popular that they were used by Cadbury on their chocolate box covers from 1860 on. A fine example of his work here of cattle grazing near a pond, the leaves just beginning to turn colors, a chill in the air. These idyllic works of England became very popular as the ravages of the Industrial Revolution began to despoil cities in noxious air, dust, soot and smoke.

Lot 357		Linday, Vachel. "Congo" with 8 Original Gouache and Colors Illustrations. (1879-1931) Poem by Lindsay Vachel, original folio and original art hand illustrated by Nicholas Zuraw. Lindsay Vachel was a white American poet and considered a founder of modern singing poetry (or poetry as spoken art) and was one of the best known poets of the early 20th Century. In 1915 he published THE CONGO, which exemplified his revolutionary aesthetic of sound for sound's sake imitating the pounding of the drums in the rhythms in his words. Offered is a remarkable find of using a portion of THE CONGO: Section One, as a means in creating incredibly striking watercolors by artist Nicholas Zuraw. We cannot find information on the artist but his 8 original gouache-on-paper illustrations and the cover in this folio are extraordinary. Beneath each illustration he has carefully written stanzas from Lindsay's poem in pencil with fine precision. Based on the toning of the mat paper, this original art piece must be pre-WWII if not older. Each illustration is shee-matted but loose inside the striking illustrated black paper cover.

Lot 366		Anna and Andy Orlinski. The Battle of Trafalgar. Poland's Anna and Andy Orlinski, are known the world over for their historic marine paintings boasting astounding detail and passion. This is one of the best examples of their work we have ever seen, both artists having created an original oil on canvas: an amazing panorama at sea of The Battle of Trafalgar, which took place on October of 1805. The battle escalated into a massive naval engagement between the Royal Navy, led by Admiral Lord Nelson, and the combined navies of the French and Spanish. The large number of ships involved in this battle are only partially represented here but the ferocity and scale are beautifully captured, where 23 Franco-Spanish ships were destroyed, but not one British vessel.

Utrillo often used the quiet winding streets and alleyways of pre-World War I Montmartre as the subject of his paintings and sketches. Much of his work was created from memory or postcards while he spent time in asylums painting in privacy, recovering from bouts of mental illness and alcoholism. In spite of his wretched life he maintained a prolific output, his works generating worldwide favor. In 1929 he received the Legion of Honor. Original hand-signed pencil sketch, 19 x 25", signed at lower right, with "Montmartre" at lower left. Framed to 27 x 32".

His art is in permanent collections, including the Smithsonian, San Francisco Museum of Art and countless museums in the Southwest. In the 1950s, with fellow artist Max Evans, he took up prospecting and found the two largest deposits of ore, including an enormous vein of beryllium, which earned them quite a windfall. This painting was painted in the summer of 1956. Max Evans wrote on the verso that the painting was executed by Crumbo in a few hours near the Glen Woody Bridge in New Mexico, a few miles from Pilar, with notation signed and dated Aug. 23, 1958. A fantastic bit of history on the verso, of a celebrated artist whose painting (on canvas board) of a prospector, his burro and the New Mexico landscape is thematically perfect, given Crumbo's life and good fortune. 8 x 14" framed to 10 x 16" and in perfect condition.
