His graphic brilliance, his visual and emotional realism and his social conscience attracted an international audience.This summer, the children of Bernarda and Ben Shahn chose Rago’s to auction their parents’ personal collection of fine art, furniture, decorative art, Asian and ancient/ethnographic artifacts from their home and its adjacent studio.Highlights include: Original works of art by Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Alfred Maurer, Robert Rauschenberg, Ben Shahn and Rufino Tamayo. Multiples by Jacob Lawrence, Louis Lozowick, Shahn and many (Roosevelt) New Jersey artists. Photographs by Shahn. Mid-century Modern furniture by Nakshima and Finn Juhl/Niels Vodder. Sabean, Japanese, Roman and Burmese art and artifacts, among others.More than Rothko, more than Pollack, Ben Shahn dominated the public consciousness in mid-century. Further, he achieved enormous institutional success. He was given his first retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1947, an exhibition followed by many more around the world throughout his life. He was selected as one of the "World's Ten Best Artists" by Look magazine in 1948. He represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 1954, along with Willem de Kooning. Today, his work is in the collections of over 60 leading museums in the U.S. alone, as well as in many private collections.Ben Shahn and his wife, artist Bernarda Bryson Shahn, lived in historic Roosevelt, New Jersey, a politically progressive, cooperative community founded in 1936 with federal funding. After Shahn’s death on March 14, 1969, Bernarda Bryson Shahn lived on in their home for 35 years.The Shahn’s Bauhaus home in rural Roosevelt, just east of Princeton, will come to market shortly. The home incorporates two additions, designed and built by George Nakashima in 1960 and 1965, that include a free-edge bench and many other built-ins. Among its many visitors were Albert Einstein, Dorothea Lange, Alfred Barr, Eleanor Roosevelt and Alexander Calder. Buying & Selling Auction Catalogs since 1995.
