Post-War and Contemporary Art from the Estate of Jordan & Cynthia Katz
On May 21st, Freeman’s | Hindman is proud to offer Post War and Contemporary Art from the Estate of Jordan & Cynthia Katz, representing over 30 years of passionate collecting. Featuring a curated selection of fresh-to-market paintings, prints, and sculptures, this auction promises to be a testament to the couple’s discerning taste and dedication to art of the 20th Century.
Beginning as a modest art collection in the early 1980s, the Collection of Jordan & Cynthia Katz blossomed over the following decades to reflect their profound admiration for aesthetically beautiful objects, all while under the guidance of gallerist Margaret Lipworth. Together they traveled to New York, London, and Palm Beach, visiting galleries and studios of the artists represented in this sale. Jordan was an amateur artist himself, creating paintings and sculptures that were inspired by the art in their collection. According to their daughter, the experience of collecting was an activity that gave them both great pleasure, and their art was proudly displayed on the walls of their three homes.
Nestled within this meticulously curated private collection lies a captivating ensemble of works by renowned artists of the 20th century, such as Alex Katz, Tom Wesselmann, Lynn Chadwick, and Bernar Venet. Each piece within this collection serves as a testament to the diverse expressions of contemporary art, showcasing the vibrancy of Katz's iconic figurative paintings, the boldness of Wesselmann's pop art compositions, the emotive power of Chadwick's abstract forms, and the conceptual intricacies of Venet's sculptural works. Together, these artworks contribute to the rich tapestry of the Collection of Jordan & Cynthia Katz, and invite viewers into a world where artistic innovation and expression flourish.
