Join Alderfer Auction for a one-of-a-kind day of art and giving to support the local Hunterdon County library.
The proceeds from the online auction at 10 a.m. Feb. 23, will go directly to the library, providing access to educational resources and a love of learning for the community. Bid at alderferauction.com.
The entire collection, which was donated to the library from a single benefactor, features a diverse selection of works by some of the art world’s most well-known names. It offers selections for seasoned collectors as well as those simply looking for a unique piece to display at home.
Prominent artists in the auction include Arthur Roy Mitchell, a modernist known for his bold use of color; Hans Enri, a Swiss artist celebrated for his vivid depictions of nature; C Jac Young, known for his tonalist winter landscapes; and Georges Braque, a pioneer of the Cubist movement.
Also featured are Käthe Schmidt Kollwitz, a German artist and printmaker; Hans Erni, a Swiss artist and graphic designer; and Maximilien Luce, a Neo-Impressionist whose works often depicted everyday life.
Alderfer Auction will open its doors at 501 Fairgrounds Road, Hatfield, for a special preview from 4 to 7 p.m. Feb. 22 as a community event, offering a showroom filled with artwork that is available for bidding to support the Hunterdon County Library.
Refreshments will be provided free of charge, and representatives from two Girl Scout troops will be present, serving cookies and milk. Cookies will also be available for purchase. Additionally, a designated bin will be provided from the Bean Bag Food Donation for collection of nonperishables to support local families and children in need. Free valuations will be offered to the public by appointment.
