John McInnis Auctioneers will burst into 2025 with three important auctions set for January 3rd, 4th and 5th, online and live in the Amesbury gallery at 76 Main Street. “We’re kicking off New Year’s week with three exhibitions and auction sales,” said John McInnis of John McInnis Auctioneers. “Collectors and decorators should mark their calendars.” The Friday, January 3rd Fine Art Collections auction, starting at 2pm Eastern time, features over 200 lots of collections from private estates, to include 19th and 20th century American and European artwork, with lots to discover, together with 60 original paintings by the noted mid-century artist Carl Ivar Gilbert (1882-1959). The star lot of Day 1, and the undisputed headliner of the three days, is a large oil on canvas abstract painting by Edward Clark (American, 1926-2019), one of the early African American pioneers of abstract painting in the post-war era who placed his large canvases on the floor and painted with a push broom. The work, 72 inches by 48 inches, should bring $75,000-$150,000. Internet bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be accepted.
