BILLINGS is pleased to present our Fall Modern Art + Design auction which will feature almost 400 pieces of 20th-century design furniture, lighting, objects, and art.

Highlights of the sale include a spectacular Paavo Tynell 'Snowflake' chandelier, '100 Breaths' by Lita Albuquerque, a monumental Pierre Paulin 'Big C' sofa, an early 'Sitzmachine' by Josef Hoffmann and two 'Pig' planters by John Follis and Rex Goode in different finishes.

Historical design is led by period seating from Otto Wagner's Austrian post office, an early Antonio Volpe 'Egg' rocking chair, a Charles Rohlfs hall chair and a 'Ruba Rombic' vanity set.

Scandinavian, Italian and American mid-century furniture by iconic designers like Finn Juhl, Hans J. Wegner, Charles and Ray Eames, Paul McCobb, George Nakashima, and Mario Bellini are featured heavily.

We will also offer a large selection of outdoor furniture and accessories by Walter Lamb, Kipp Stewart, Willy Guhl, Miller Yee Fong, Paolo Soleri, and Architectural Pottery, including a pair of large 'Phoenix' planters by David Cressey.

Contemporary design highlights include works by Apparatus, Egg Collective, Eny Lee Parker, Orphan Work, Matthew Fisher, Faye Toogood, and Ayala Serfaty. We will also offer a grouping of contemporary and vintage pieces by Charles Hollis Jones.

The sale is rounded out by fine artworks by Fiona Rae, Tomory Dodge, Adja Yunkers, John Okulick, Tanya Ragir, and Peter Max.
