Estimate: $2,000 – $4,000
Mac Wells is another distinguished American artist whose work is featured at New York City Estate Auction. While this canvas may appear simple at first sight, it stands out due to the precise brushwork and well-thought-out composition.
Lot 17: Darryl Hughto’s “Salmon,” Acrylic on Canvas, 1977
Estimate: $1,500 – $2,500
Darryl Hughto’s “Salmon” is an abstract acrylic piece. The odd shape of the canvas adds to the wild and free feeling that the painting gives off: the pink splashes of paint look as if they are spilling over the borders.

Estimate: $1,500 – $2,500
This antique 18th-century thangka, a Tibetan painting on fabric, depicts the Buddhist deities among the clouds. A traditional mandala ornament takes up the center of the composition.
