Press Release
Original oil paintings by American artists Astley Cooper (1856-1924) and Clementine Hunter (1887-1988); a kinetic wall sculpture by Lin Emery (La., 1926-2021); and a 5-piece George Jensen style La Paglia sterling silver tea and coffee service in the Blossom pattern are just a few of the expected highlight lots in Crescent City Auction Gallery’s Important November Estates Auction slated for November 7-8, online and live in the New Orleans gallery.
The two-day event will be preceded on November 6th by Part 2 of property from the estate of Joseph A. (Joe) Jaeger, Jr. (1947-2024) – the New Orleans-based real estate developer, hotelier and entrepreneur who owned several properties in New Orleans, including the Jung Hotel, the Bourbon Orleans and Plaza Tower. The Part 2 sale will feature movie, music and historic memorabilia, as well art nudes. Crescent City held the successful Part 1 sale in August.
Start times all three days will be 10am Central Time. The Important November Estates Auction is loaded with nearly 700 premier lots, including items from the estate of a gentleman antiquarian from New Orleans; the collection of Michael Dudley Williams, Sr. of Baton Rouge; the collection of William Friedle and Norris Garrion of New York City; and other notable local and regional estates. The Crescent City showroom is located at 1330 St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans.
The circa 1885-1890 oil on canvas by Astley Cooper, titled Seduction of Danae, carries a pre-sale estimate of $10,000-$20,000, and could end up being the overall top lot of the Important November Estates Auction. Top lot candidates on Day 2 include Lin Emery’s polished aluminum and green paint Wall Flower (Kinetic Wall Sculpture with Green) and the George Jensen style La Paglia sterling silver tea and coffee service in the Blossom pattern (both estimated at $5,000-$10,000).
