Auction Details
Part 1: Fine Art, Jewelry & Fine Furnishings
An assortment of coveted items from Fat Chance Los Angeles and the personal favorites of gallery founder Jeff Schuerholz will highlight Abell Auction Co.?s fine art, jewelry and furnishings auction on May 20-21. Bidding starts at 9 a.m. PST each day of the online sale, offering over 500 lots that promise to impress. For decades, Fat Chance Los Angeles has curated a collection of 70 expertly crafted, original and authentic pieces of Karl Springer Designs. This includes furniture, lighting, mirrors and accessories, marking one of the largest collections of Springer to be sold. Other notable items include Florence Arnold original abstract hard edge oil paintings, Jack Boyd bronzes, Paul Evans furniture, important enamels by Jackson and Ellamarie Woolley, Tommi Parzinger pieces, an Evelyn Ackerman mosaic and a sizable sculpture by Yasuhide Kobashi. Many of these items are from the personal collection of Schuerholz and have never been offered on the secondary market. When Schuerholz, an accomplished artist and collector, opened his first store in Los Angeles in 1978, a notable magazine editor told him he had a ?fat chance? of being successful in that location. The name stayed, and he pioneered a highly successful gallery serving designers, architects, celebrities, the Hollywood film industry and private buyers for over four decades. ?Through the years, the store?s underlying theme has been modern art and furnishings,? said Schuerholz. "All along, we strived to represent the best of each decade by bringing the next wave of quality design and art to our customers. Designers and collectors have been an important part of our business, and we have shipped items to all parts of the world.? The special two-day auction also will feature the collection of Beverly Hills award-winning designer Barbara Lockhart, punctuated by a John Vesey Louis XVI-style bureau plat, Jean-Pierre Yvaral acrylic on canvas ?Progression Polychrome? and Francois Gall painting ?Nu Assis.?
