Richmond Hill, ON – The last auction of the year December 19, 2019 brings to a close a very successful calendar year for 888 Auctions. Featuring 404 fresh-to-market items with an emphasis on Pop Art, Chinese Paintings and Loose Gemstones. The live auction will be conducted on the gallery floor of 888 Auctions Thursday, December 19, 2019 at 2 PM (EST).

The cover lot for this auction features a very finely executed piece at Lot 176, an attributed Tamara de Lempicka Polish Oil on Canvas painting. Featuring a portrait of a woman and signed LEMPICKA on the lower left corner with a gallery label affixed to verso inscribed BERNER KUNSTMUSEUM, Lot 176 is expected to surpass its high estimate of $5,000.
Chinese art and antiques continue to find renewed interest with the end of the year approaching. In particular, the past few auctions have found bidders competing fiercely over jadeite carved bangles. Therefore, the inclusion of Lot 293 – a Chinese Burma Green Jadeite Bangle with GIA Certificate – is sure to be a crowd-pleasing item with competitive bidding far surpassing its high estimate of $12,000.
Modern art continues to be a strong performing category and the last auction of the year will be no exception with the inclusion of several standout pieces in the lots below:
Lot 32: Georges Seurat French Oil on Board Galerie Mathias (High Estimate: $3,000)
Lot 70: Vincent van Gogh Dutch Oil Board Galerie Beyeler (High Estimate: $4,000)
Lot 82: Ben Enwonwu Nigerian Modernist OOC Portrait 1971 (High Estimate: $2,500)

Gemstones have also been a strong category for the Canadian-based auction house with sell-through rates exceeding 90% in the past five auctions. Lot 339, a 12.19ct Emerald Cut Blue Sapphire accompanied with an AGSL certificate, is expected to surpass its high estimate of $800 with multiple bidders vying for this pretty gemstone.
