On October 12 at 10AM PDT, Billings will present its “Studio Craft” auction. This auction focuses on hand-crafted unique items from an eclectic mix of ceramicists, weavers, woodworkers and craftspeople. View the catalog, register and pre-bid now at www.billingsauction.com.
The inspiration for this auction sprang from the opportunity to present a curated collection from the estate of California ceramicist Robert Maxwell. As independent craft specialist and curator Meaghan Roddy writes in her essay:
“The present collection being offered at BILLINGS are all works spanning the decades of Maxwell’s creative output from his own private collection with his wife and business partner Gaye Lyn Maxwell. Many have made the move throughout the Maxwells’ lives from their original studio in Venice in the 1960s, to Fallbrook, and back again to Los Angeles at Billings today, offering collectors a most unique opportunity to acquire some of the rarest and most important Robert Maxwell works to ever enter the market.”

All items are available for preview in person during the week before the sale at the Billings Arts District warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles. Bidding is available live online, in person, via phone, or absentee.
