| J.C. Leyendecker (American, 1874-1951) Honeymoon, 1926 28¼ X 21¼ in., oil on canvas |
The upcoming sale of illustration art at Heritage Auctions, Beverly Hills, is neither as large nor as exciting as some of their more recent auctions in the same category, but that does not mean it is without some fine images to peruse online, or perhaps even purchase. The auction house's anchor artists - Rockwell, Cornwell, and Elvgren -are all represented, albeit each with fewer pieces than usual. But the standout piece in this sale is J.C. Leyendecker's Honeymoon (pictured above), which has already been receiving a lot of attention from internet bidders.
Heritage's Beverly Hills Signature Illustration Art Auction #5126 will take place on April 11th and 12th, 2013. Full previews are being offered from the 9th through the 11th at Heritage Auctions salesroom, 8478 West Olympic Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California. All of the lots, with Heritage's customary large-sized image files can also be viewed online at the house's website.
