First Open | Post-War & Contemporary Art

Bidding starts: 5 days

1 JUL 10AM – 17 JUL 10AM EDT

Sale Overview

First Open brings together an exceptional selection of works by some of today’s most significant and in‑demand post‑war and contemporary artists, featuring Josef Albers, Joan Mitchell, On Kawara, George Condo and Elaine de Kooning and Theodoros Stamos among others.

This season, First Open is proud to present property from the Rabb Goldberg Collection, bringing together distinguished examples by Louise Nevelson, Milton Avery and Lynn Chadwick. Continuing the narrative established by the May 20th‑ and 21st‑Century Art sales, this offering extends that dialogue through a collection that balances historical depth with contemporary resonance, assembled by one of the most influential families in Boston’s business and philanthropic history.

Additional highlights of First Open include works from the Edlis | Neeson Collection; Defined Space: The Collection of Henry S. McNeil Jr.; property from an Important New York Collection; and property sold to benefit The Bailey Arts Foundation.

With estimates ranging from US$2,000 to US$200,000, First Open presents a broad survey of 20th‑ and 21st‑century art, offering compelling opportunities for both new and established collectors.
