Day 2: Abell Weekly Auction April 2, 2026

## Executive summary

The sale **“Day 2: Abell Weekly Auction April 2, 2026”** is a live auction scheduled by Abell to begin **Thu, Apr 2, 2026 at 12:00 PM EDT** (equivalent to **11:00 AM CDT**). [\[1]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076) The house description indicates it is part of a **two-part weekly auction** (Day 1 on April 1 and Day 2 on April 2) presenting estate material including **fine art, modern art, furnishings, jewelry, and decorative objects**. [\[1]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076)

For buyers, the most financially material term is a **25% buyer’s premium** (based on the auction information page for this sale). [\[2]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/) Buyers should also plan around **strict removal and storage rules**: Abell’s buyer-facing terms state purchases must be removed promptly, with storage fees applying after stated windows and Abell reserving rights to treat property as abandoned after extended non-removal. [\[3]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)

Within the “filters=4” slice analyzed here (24 lots), the highest-value items by house estimate and typical market behavior are the print lots by **Marc Chagall**[**\[4]**](https://www.ebay.com/itm/267504255866) (Lot 624, *The Cello*) and **Rufino Tamayo**[**\[5]**](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076) (Lot 696, *Torso de Joven*). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076) A cluster of mid-market signed/numbered editions (notably **LeRoy Neiman**[**\[7]**](https://www.ebay.com/itm/267504255866) serigraphs and **Louis Icart**[**\[8]**](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/) etchings/suites) appears structurally well-positioned for value buying—**but** outcomes will depend heavily on edition specifics, framing, and paper condition (foxing/toning/mat burn). [\[9]](https://www.barnebys.it/aste/lotto/leroy-neiman-1921-2012-paris-opera-Yuixt7u-627685896?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Because the auction platform’s lot pages were only partially retrievable in this environment, **lot descriptions and dimensions were reconstructed from a mix of primary Abell pages where accessible and reputable auction mirrors** (notably Barnebys snapshots that reproduce Abell’s lot text for this sale). [\[10]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466) The exported CSV identifies which fields were captured versus not captured.

## Scope and sources

This report is restricted to the lots accessible under the user-provided sale URL (with filters=4) and a **24-lot subset** extracted and normalized for analysis. Primary sale context and buyer terms were taken from Abell’s auction information page for the specific sale and Abell’s Buyers Agreement and payment/shipping pages. [\[11]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)

Lot descriptions/dimensions were taken from: - Abell lot pages where retrievable (e.g., Lot 455 and Lot 624). [\[12]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466)  
- Barnebys auction mirrors for the same lots (used as a structured way to capture Abell’s lot text for many entries). [\[13]](https://www.barnebys.fr/ventes/objet/louis-justin-laurent-icart-1888-1950-hortense-mXWqMgD-627685571?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Comparable prices were sourced from a mix of: - Auction archives (e.g., **Heritage Auctions**[**\[14]**](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/how-to-pay/), **Revere Auctions**[**\[15]**](https://www.mutualart.com/Artwork/The-Cello/2DAD59F51D15520D), Abell past-sale pages). [\[16]](https://www.atkinsonfineart.com/product/homage-to-remington/)  
- Marketplaces (notably **eBay**[**\[17]**](https://www.abell.com/terms-conditions/) ended listing capture pages). [\[18]](https://www.ebay.com/itm/267504255866)  
- Gallery/secondary-market listings (e.g., **Atkinson Fine Art**[**\[19]**](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/), **Artsy**[**\[20]**](https://www.ebay.com/itm/267504255866), **1stDibs**[**\[21]**](https://www.barnebys.fr/ventes/objet/louis-justin-laurent-icart-1888-1950-hortense-mXWqMgD-627685571?utm_source=chatgpt.com)) used only as “asking/retail context” when public auction realizations were unavailable.

### Sample visual reference

## Buyer terms and policies relevant to bidders

Abell’s sale-specific **buyer’s premium is 25%** (added to the hammer price). [\[2]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)

Payment methods and payment friction points: - Abell’s “How to Pay” page states they accept **credit card** (with a **3% processing fee**), **wire**, **ACH**, and **check**, and that **international clients and jewelry purchases must pay by wire**. [\[24]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/how-to-pay/)  
- Abell’s Buyers Agreement also references payment by **cash, check, wire transfer**, and credit card methods, noting an **additional 3% surcharge for credit card payments**, with card/bank clearance requirements before release. [\[25]](https://www.abell.com/terms-conditions/)

Taxes: - Abell’s sale terms indicate local pickups are subject to **California sales tax** unless a valid resale certificate is on file. [\[2]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)  
- Lot-level shipping text also indicates sales tax application on local pickups and discusses tax exemption mechanics when using third-party shipping with a bill of lading, though some lot pages display a jurisdictional template line that may not reflect Abell’s California location. [\[26]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076)

Removal / pickup windows, storage fees, and abandonment risk: - The Buyers Agreement states purchased property must be removed and that Abell may charge storage/handling fees if items are not removed within the stated period; it also describes Abell’s right to treat items as abandoned after extended non-removal. [\[27]](https://www.abell.com/terms-conditions/)  
- The auction information page includes weekly-auction storage language (including “per-lot, per-day” storage and handling fees in certain circumstances) and reinforces the “removal within 7 days” expectation. [\[2]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)  
- A lot-level condition/pickup note provides a practical pickup window: **Monday–Friday, 8–12 and 1–3**. [\[28]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466)

Shipping and shipper selection: - Abell publishes a **recommended shipper list** and states on their shipping page that Abell “does not ship or pack” items, but will assist by furnishing shipper contacts; handling is at purchaser risk and items must be paid in full before release. [\[29]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/how-to-ship/)  
- At the lot level, Abell’s platform text also describes “in-house shipping on select items” coordinated through **Shipping Saint** (eligibility varies by lot). [\[30]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076)

Inspection policy and condition reports: - The Buyers Agreement frames all lots as sold **“as is”** and emphasizes that bidders are responsible for inspection or requesting additional information; it also states condition descriptions are opinions, the absence of a condition report is not a guarantee, and Abell disclaims warranties. [\[27]](https://www.abell.com/terms-conditions/)

Contact information: - Abell’s buyer pages and lot pages list Abell Auction Company’s address and contact: **2613 Yates Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90040**, phone **323-724-8102**, email **info@abell.com**. [\[31]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/how-to-pay/)

## Comparable sales and value estimates

### How estimates and bid strategy were constructed

Because public realized-price databases for prints are frequently paywalled (and several marketplace pages do not show closed-sale “realized” in a machine-readable way), the per-lot ranges below use a tiered approach:

* When a **public auction realization** was available, it anchors the range (e.g., Heritage/Revere/eBay sale captures). [\[32]](https://www.atkinsonfineart.com/product/homage-to-remington/)
* When only **gallery asking/retail** was available, it is treated as an *upper-context* indicator (often materially higher than auction outcomes). [\[33]](https://www.atkinsonfineart.com/product/bar-at-21/)
* When neither was available, the lot’s Abell estimate band and typical print-market behavior were used, with a conservative bias to account for unknown condition and edition nuances.

**Bid strategy is provided as a maximum hammer bid** that approximately keeps “all-in” cost near a chosen market ceiling, using the sale’s **25% buyer’s premium**:  
**Max hammer ≈ (all‑in value ceiling) ÷ 1.25**, before taxes and shipping. [\[2]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)

### Comparable price research per lot

Below, “realized” means a publicly visible sold price; “asking/retail” is not a realized price.

* Lot 455 (Performer, Paul Ecke[\[34]](https://www.abell.com/terms-conditions/)): no comparable found in the public sources reviewed; valuation is anchored to the low estimate band and typical secondary-market behavior for regional serigraph editions. [\[28]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466)
* Lot 520 (Hortense, Louis Icart[\[8]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)): realized comps vary sharply by edition/authenticity. A related Icart “Les Hortensias” sale is recorded at **$120** (Ripley Auctions, Sept 18, 2024). [\[35]](https://www.ripleyauctions.com/auction-lot/louis-icart-french-1880-1950-les-hortensias_9C14F47A1F) An older Skinner record shows **$1,645** (Mar 2, 2007), illustrating how higher-quality signed/editioned impressions can command materially more. [\[36]](https://www.atkinsonfineart.com/product/bar-at-21/)
* Lot 562 (Paris Opera, LeRoy Neiman[\[7]](https://www.ebay.com/itm/267504255866)): Abell/Barnebys indicates a **signed/numbered serigraph, ed. 205/300** with large framed dimensions. [\[37]](https://www.barnebys.it/aste/lotto/leroy-neiman-1921-2012-paris-opera-Yuixt7u-627685896?utm_source=chatgpt.com) A Neiman-official retail page lists a “Paris Opera” poster serigraph at **$290** (retail context; not realized).

* Lot 565 (El Dorado, Yaacov Agam[\[40]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076)): Abell/Barnebys identifies an **agamograph 18/99** with moderate framed size. [\[41]](https://www.barnebys.fr/ventes/objet/yaacov-agam-b-1928-el-dorado-WUkBE2d-627685910?utm_source=chatgpt.com) A relevant Agam comp within Abell’s own archive shows an Agam serigraph (“The Covenant”) sold for **$400** (Feb 21, 2024), providing an auction-benchmark reference for signed Agam editions (not the same title). [\[42]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/yaacov-agam-b.-1928-the-covenant_9ff4cadb85)
* Lot 566 (Star of Light Menorah, Agam): Abell/Barnebys indicates **agamograph ed. 7/99**.

[\[42]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/yaacov-agam-b.-1928-the-covenant_9ff4cadb85)
* Lot 567 (Bar at 21, Neiman): public comps show high dispersion. Retail context: Atkinson lists “Bar at 21” with “Gallery Retail $10,000.” [\[44]](https://www.atkinsonfineart.com/product/bar-at-21/) A gallery storefront lists it at **$7,000** (retail/asking). [\[45]](https://www.grandegallery.com/limited-edition-warehouse/limited_edition_art_products/bar-at-21) A publicly captured ended eBay listing shows a **$300** sale price for a “Bar at 21 Club” serigraph listing (Dec 12, 2025), illustrating the low end of the market when edition/condition/provenance contexts differ.

## Logistics, costs, and compliance flags

### Domestic shipping cost model and insurance guidance

Abell’s published shipping page emphasizes Abell does not pack/ship and provides a preferred shipper list; buyers must coordinate directly with shippers and pay in full prior to release. [\[29]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/how-to-ship/) In contrast, the auction platform’s lot pages describe “in-house shipping on select items” coordinated through Shipping Saint, so buyers should treat shipping eligibility as **lot-specific** and confirm on the lot’s Shipping tab. [\[30]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076)

For domestic U.S. planning (destination unspecified), the cost bands used in this report are: - **Small parcel (unframed paper)**: \~$25–$80 (insured ground).  
- **Standard framed art (approx. ≤36" on a side)**: \~$80–$180.  
- **Large framed art / oversize**: \~$120–$300 (may require custom carton).  
- **Crated art / art-shipper**: \~$300–$900 (or higher if special handling/white glove).

Given Abell’s “as is” and buyer-risk language, insurance is recommended at **replacement-aware market value**, not at hammer price alone, for higher-tier lots (notably Lots 624 and 696). [\[25]](https://www.abell.com/terms-conditions/)

### Pickup windows and deadlines

Abell’s buyer language emphasizes prompt removal, with storage fees and other remedies for late pickup. [\[3]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/) A lot-level note provides operational pickup hours: **Mon–Fri 8–12 and 1–3**. [\[28]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466) Buyers should coordinate pickup/shipping immediately after invoicing to avoid fee exposure. [\[2]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/buyers-agreement/)

### Legal, export, and cultural heritage concerns

Based on the lot descriptions captured for this 24-lot slice, the lots are predominantly **prints/works on paper** (serigraphs, lithographs, etchings, woodblocks, agamographs). [\[77]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076) No explicit red flags such as ivory, exotic regulated materials, firearms, or archaeological objects were observed in the captured descriptions. [\[78]](https://www.barnebys.fr/ventes/objet/louis-justin-laurent-icart-1888-1950-hortense-mXWqMgD-627685571?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Practical compliance notes: - For international export, **framed oversized works** may trigger higher scrutiny and cost, but not typically legal prohibitions; buyers should still confirm no restricted materials exist in frames/backing. [\[29]](https://www.abell.com/buy-sell/how-to-ship/)  
- For editions by major artists, buyers should confirm **authenticity markers** (signature in pencil, numbering, publisher stamps/blindstamps) and request additional photos/condition reports when possible. [\[79]](https://www.abell.com/terms-conditions/)

# Deep Research Report on Abell Auction Company Sale - BIZ

Day 2: Abell Weekly Auction April 2, 2026

## Executive summary

Abell Auction Company’s **“Day 2: Abell Weekly Auction April 2, 2026”** is scheduled to begin **Apr 2, 2026 at 12:00 PM EDT** (which corresponds to **11:00 AM CDT**, matching your start-time note). [\[1]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2) The auction’s catalog indicates **352 total lots** across multiple categories, including a designated **Fine Art** section. [\[2]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2)

Your request required **full-lot indexing + attribute extraction** (brand/maker, year, dimensions, materials, condition, provenance) **for every lot**, plus images and notable-lot pricing comps. In this environment, Abell’s catalog pagination and many lot-detail pages (and most image files) intermittently returned “cache miss/403”-style retrieval failures; as a result, only a **partial subset** could be validated directly from Abell lot-detail pages. The most reliable, directly retrievable primary sources available here were: (a) Abell’s sale overview and certain lot pages, and (b) the Bidsquare mirror pages for this sale, used as a cross-check for some lot-level bid/estimate data. [\[3]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2)

To still deliver actionable outputs, I produced a **structured catalog index and attributes dataset for a curated 24-lot subset** (the set contained in your provided export—lots 455, 520, 562…719), and then went deeper where primary-source pages were accessible (notably **Lot 455 (Paul Ecke)** and **Lot 624 (Marc Chagall)**). [\[4]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466) For higher-value lots in that subset (Chagall, Tamayo, Neiman, Agam, Borofsky), I added **market context and comps** using accessible auction-archive sources (e.g., Abell sold-lot archives for Tamayo, other auctioneer archives for Neiman). [\[5]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-retrato-de-mujer_79549d8844)

## Auction overview and research approach

The sale page describes a two-part weekly auction (Day 1 and Day 2) featuring categories such as **fine art, modern furnishings, decorative objects**, and more, sourced largely from **West Coast estates**. [\[1]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2) The Abell sale catalog indicates **352 results**. [\[2]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2)

A key bidding-cost input is the **buyer’s premium**. Abell’s auction information page lists a **25% buyer’s premium**. [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info) The Bidsquare mirror for the same sale displays a **28% buyer’s premium**, which may reflect platform-specific terms; for bidding directly on Abell’s platform, I defaulted recommendations to the **25% stated by Abell** and flagged the discrepancy. [\[7]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

### Methods used and web-scraping notes

This research used **primary auction sources** and “light extraction” techniques: - **Catalog/lot-page extraction**: manually opened sale and lot pages and extracted structured fields (estimate, bid status, description text, dimensions) from page content. [\[8]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2)  
- **Cross-checking**: used the Bidsquare sale mirror page for additional visibility into some lot listings and current/starting bid fields when Abell’s pagination/lot pages were not reliably retrievable. [\[9]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5)  
- **Comps research**: used accessible auction-archive pages (e.g., Abell’s own sold-lot archive pages for Tamayo; other auction houses/auctioneers for Neiman) and a major auction-house lot record for Chagall print identification. [\[10]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-retrato-de-mujer_79549d8844)

Because this environment repeatedly returned retrieval failures for many lot pages and images, the report explicitly marks missing attributes as **“unspecified”** per your instruction and documents unresolved questions.

## Catalog indexing and structured lot attributes

### Indexed lots and deliverable files

A complete 24-lot index for the subset you exported is provided in the downloadable files: - catalog\_index.csv: lot number, artist/maker (where known), title, estimate/current bid, lot page link, short description, starting bid (when found), and a primary image URL (when fetchable). - lot\_attributes.csv: normalized attributes (brand/maker, model, year, dimensions, materials, condition, provenance), with **“unspecified”** where not available.

The subset includes, among others, **Lot 455 (Paul Ecke)**, **Lot 624 (Marc Chagall)**, **Lot 567 (LeRoy Neiman)**, **Lot 571 (Jonathan Borofsky)**, **Lot 696 (Rufino Tamayo)**, and **Lot 700 (Edward Biberman)**.

### Examples of high-fidelity extraction from accessible Abell pages

Lot 455 (Paul Ecke, *Performer*) provides a representative example of the full attribute set when the lot page is accessible: the lot page states it is an **embellished serigraph on paper**, dated **1993**, signed/dated, with dimensions for the work and frame. [\[11]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466) A primary image was retrievable for this lot. [\[12]](https://s1.img.bidsquare.com/item/xl/3534/35348972.jpeg?t=1VSuQE)

Lot 624 (Marc Chagall, *The Cello*) provides an example of identifying edition and medium: the lot page lists **lithograph on paper**, **edition 5/50**, signed and numbered, and provides sight and frame dimensions. [\[13]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076)

### Partial catalog validation via Bidsquare sale mirror

For some lots (notably lots in the 560–600 range), the Bidsquare mirror page for this sale clearly exposes estimate/bid fields. For example: - Lot 567 (*Bar at 21*) shows estimate and a starting bid of **$400** on the mirror listing. [\[14]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5)  
- Lot 570 (*Hunter Trials*) shows estimate and a starting bid of **$250**. [\[15]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5)  
- Lot 571 (*I Dreamed I Could Fly No. 3088750*) shows estimate and a **current bid of $100**. [\[15]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5)  
- Lot 604 (*Three Lithographs*) shows estimate and a **current bid of $200**. [\[16]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5)

## Notable and high-value lots with market context and comparables

This section flags items that are likely to be more liquid/value-sensitive in the secondary market, based on (a) recognized artists with established print markets, (b) limited-edition indicators (edition size, signature), and (c) estimate-to-market relationships visible from accessible comps.

### Marc Chagall, The Cello

Abell Lot 624 is titled *Marc Chagall: The Cello* and described as a **signed and numbered lithograph on paper**, **edition 5/50**, with framed dimensions provided. [\[13]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076)  
A key identification step is matching this to catalogued Chagall prints: Christie’s lists **“The Cello (M. 897)”** as a **1976 lithograph in colors on Arches**, signed in pencil and numbered from an edition of **50**. [\[17]](https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-3834362) This supports that the Abell lot likely corresponds to (or is consistent with) the recognized “The Cello” print in Chagall’s oeuvre.

Comparable pricing: in this environment, accessible sources for *realized prices* for this specific Chagall print were largely paywalled (MutualArt) or not exposed in public result snippets. [\[18]](https://www.mutualart.com/Artwork/The-Cello/2DAD59F51D15520D) Accordingly, I provide a **market value range** rather than a single comp price, and list the missing verification questions below.

Market value range (working): **$2,500–$5,000 hammer** (range reflects: signed limited edition /50, established Chagall print demand, but condition/framing/edition number and publisher details not fully verified here). This should be tightened after verifying publisher (e.g., Mourlot), margins, and condition.

Rationale: Abell’s estimate of **$2,000–$3,000** [\[13]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076) appears plausible for an editioned Chagall lithograph, but upside/downside is highly sensitive to authentication markers, paper condition, and whether this is a known catalogued impression consistent with M.897.

### Rufino Tamayo, Torso de Joven

The sale highlights Tamayo’s *Torso de Joven* as a featured item in the broader auction context. [\[19]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2) Within your exported subset, Tamayo appears as **Lot 696** (*Torso de Joven*) with estimate **$1,000–$2,000**. [\[20]](https://www.mutualart.com/Auction/Day-2--Abell-Weekly-Auction-April-2--202/3CFE11FBBCD051F9) (Lot-page extraction for the specific Abell listing could not be retrieved reliably in this environment; see “Ambiguities” below.)

Comparable recent sale prices (primary Abell archive): Abell’s sold-lot archive shows Tamayo prints selling in the **low-thousands** range, for example: - Tamayo, *Retrato De Mujer* (1969 color lithograph; edition 27/150) sold **$2,500** (Mar 9, 2024). [\[21]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-retrato-de-mujer_79549d8844)  
- Tamayo, *Cara En Rojo* (1977 mixografia; edition XIX/XXV) sold **$3,750** (Mar 10, 2024). [\[22]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-cara-en-rojo_4F44432B49)  
- Tamayo, *Figure In Red* (color lithograph; edition 4/150) sold **$1,300** (Dec 14, 2023). [\[23]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-figure-in-red_C144669A67)

Market value range (working): **$1,500–$3,500 hammer**, depending on medium (lithograph vs mixografia/etching), edition size, signature/numbering, and image size. The upper end is more consistent with scarcer techniques/editions (e.g., smaller editions like XXV) rather than large editions. [\[24]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-retrato-de-mujer_79549d8844)

Rationale: Abell’s estimate band fits within Abell’s own realized-price history for Tamayo prints, but the *specific medium/edition* for *Torso de Joven* needs confirmation to sharpen the range.

### LeRoy Neiman, Bar at 21

The Bidsquare mirror shows **Lot 567** as *LeRoy Neiman, Bar at 21* with estimate **$800–$1,200** and starting bid **$400**. [\[14]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5)

Comparable realized sales (primary auction archives): - Revere Auctions sold **“LeRoy Neiman ‘Bar at 21’ Serigraph 1974”** for **$1,100** (Sep 22, 2021), with description (signed/numbered) and sight/framed dimensions. [\[25]](https://live.revereauctions.com/auction-lot/leroy-neiman-bar-at-21-serigraph-1974_C8E41A2B3A)  
- RoGallery sold **“LeRoy Neiman, The Bar at 21, Serigraph Poster”** for **$250** (Apr 4, 2013). This is a *poster-format serigraph*, typically a lower market tier than full serigraph editions. [\[26]](https://auction.rogallery.com/auction-lot/leroy-neiman-the-bar-at-21-serigraph-poster_24D8C1955F)

Market value range (working): **$900–$1,600 hammer** for a signed/numbered serigraph edition in good condition, with meaningful downside if it is a poster-format or non-standard edition.

Rationale: The Revere sold price provides a strong anchor for a signed/numbered 1974 serigraph. [\[25]](https://live.revereauctions.com/auction-lot/leroy-neiman-bar-at-21-serigraph-1974_C8E41A2B3A) Abell’s estimate aligns with that anchor, suggesting fair pricing rather than a deep bargain—unless Abell’s example is a particularly strong impression/condition or a rarer variant.

### Yaacov Agam, Star of Light Menorah

Your subset includes **Lot 566** (*Star of Light Menorah*) with estimate **$400–$600** (exported subset). The work is broadly consistent with Agam’s lenticular/Agamograph market, but the exact technique, edition size, and signature placement were not retrievable from the Abell lot page here (see “Ambiguities”).

Market context: Artsy has listings for “Star of Light Menorah” described as a **color Agamograph**, limited-edition, with size and signature fields (listing context; not an auction realized price). [\[27]](https://www.artsy.net/artwork/yaacov-agam-star-of-light-menorah)

Market value range (working): **$800–$2,000 hammer** (high uncertainty without edition/size/COA confirmation from the Abell lot page).

Rationale: Agamographs can command meaningful premiums when they are (a) authenticated, (b) editioned in small runs, (c) larger-format, and (d) in strong condition with intact lenticular surface; Abell’s estimate could represent opportunity, but only if the lot matches these premium drivers. [\[27]](https://www.artsy.net/artwork/yaacov-agam-star-of-light-menorah)

## Maker or model ambiguity and unresolved questions

### Research steps taken for ambiguous lots

For lots where maker/model/medium details were unclear (the majority of the 24-lot subset), the following steps were attempted: - Opened the Abell sale catalog and confirmed the overall lot count and structure. [\[1]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2)  
- Opened accessible Abell lot pages directly when possible (successful for Lot 455 and Lot 624). [\[4]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/paul-ecke-b-1953-performer-8528466)  
- Used the Bidsquare mirror catalog pages to confirm estimate/current/starting bids where visible. [\[28]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5)  
- Searched for independent primary auction archives to establish comps (successful for Tamayo via Abell archive; successful for Neiman via Revere and RoGallery archives). [\[29]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-retrato-de-mujer_79549d8844)  
- Used major auction-house records to validate artist print identification for Chagall *The Cello (M.897)*. [\[17]](https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-3834362)

### Unresolved questions that materially affect valuation and bidding

For most lots in the subset, the following remain **unspecified** due to lot-page retrieval limits: - **Medium/technique** (e.g., lithograph vs serigraph vs poster; for prints, technique is a primary driver of value). - **Edition size and edition number**, including presence of **AP/HC** impressions. - Whether the print is **hand-signed** vs plate-signed vs signed in print. - **Publisher/printer** (e.g., Mourlot for Chagall prints is often material to market confidence). [\[17]](https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-3834362)  
- **Condition specifics** (foxing, toning, cockling, margin trimming, frame condition). - **Provenance** (estate, gallery documentation, COA specifics).

These unresolved fields are explicitly marked **“unspecified”** in lot\_attributes.csv.

## Top watchlist and bidding guidance

This watchlist prioritizes **liquidity, collector demand, and estimate-to-market alignment**, while discounting heavily for missing medium/edition/condition data. Suggested max bids are **hammer-price caps**; to translate to “all-in,” apply Abell’s buyer premium (Abell states **25%**). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

### Prioritized top lots to consider

Lot 624 — Marc Chagall, *The Cello*  
Abell lists this as a signed/numbered lithograph (ed. 5/50). [\[13]](https://auction.abell.com/online-auctions/abell/marc-chagall-the-cello-8635076) Christie’s documents the catalogued print “The Cello (M.897)” as a 1976 lithograph, signed and numbered /50. [\[17]](https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-3834362) This combination of name recognition + limited edition generally supports strong liquidity.  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$3,200** (approx. $4,000 all-in at 25% BP). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 696 — Rufino Tamayo, *Torso de Joven*  
Tamayo prints have demonstrated multi-thousand-dollar realizations at Abell in recent years. [\[24]](https://www.abell.com/auction-lot/rufino-tamayo-1899-1991-retrato-de-mujer_79549d8844) Given uncertainty on medium/edition for this specific lot, cap bidding conservatively unless the lot page confirms a scarcer technique/edition.  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$2,200** (approx. $2,750 all-in). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 567 — LeRoy Neiman, *Bar at 21*  
Estimate and starting bid are visible on the sale mirror listing. [\[14]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5) Revere’s realized price of **$1,100** for a 1974 signed/numbered serigraph provides a strong comparable anchor. [\[25]](https://live.revereauctions.com/auction-lot/leroy-neiman-bar-at-21-serigraph-1974_C8E41A2B3A)  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$1,200** (approx. $1,500 all-in). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 571 — Jonathan Borofsky, *I Dreamed I Could Fly No. 3088750*  
The sale mirror shows a low estimate band and a $100 current bid. [\[15]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5) If this is a Gemini G.E.L.-published lithograph (as in similar “I Dreamed I Could Fly” series listings), this could be undervalued versus typical market expectations—pending verification. [\[30]](https://www.bidsquare.com/online-auctions/palm-beach-modern/jonathan-borofsky-i-dreamed-i-could-fly-no-3088750-lithograph-8684884)  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$650** (approx. $812 all-in). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 566 — Yaacov Agam, *Star of Light Menorah*  
Agamographs/lenticular works can be quite valuable, but value dispersion is enormous without edition/COA/size confirmation. Artsy listings indicate this title exists as a “color Agamograph,” limited edition, signed, with meaningful size. [\[27]](https://www.artsy.net/artwork/yaacov-agam-star-of-light-menorah)  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$1,200** (approx. $1,500 all-in), only if lot-page verification supports editioned signed Agamograph. [\[31]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 700 — Edward Biberman, *Justice - Peace - Love*  
This is priced as a mid-tier fine-art lot in your subset; building a bid strategy depends heavily on medium and whether it is signed/editioned. If verified as a strong, signed work on paper, this could be attractive.  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$850** (approx. $1,063 all-in). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 675 — Louis Icart, *Four Seasons Suite (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)*  
Suites can outperform single prints if complete and in consistent condition; verify completeness, edition, and signature/plate marks before bidding aggressively.  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$650** (approx. $812 all-in). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 520 — Louis Justin Laurent Icart, *Hortense*  
Potentially good decorative-print demand, but high sensitivity to edition state and condition.  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$450** (approx. $562 all-in). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 626 — Kiyoshi Saito, *Flowers in Vase*  
Japanese prints can be strong, but require verification of woodblock vs reproduction, signature/seal, and edition provenance.  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$450** (approx. $562 all-in). [\[6]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

Lot 604 — Norman Rockwell, *Three Lithographs*  
The mirror listing shows estimate band and current bid. [\[16]](https://www.bidsquare.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653?page=5) This is generally a more commodity-like market unless lithographs are scarce/early or have distinctive provenance.  
Suggested max bid (hammer): **$300** (approx. $375 all-in). [\[32]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)

## Summary metrics and dataset limitations

### Summary table

The following metrics summarize the **24-lot subset** included in your export that was indexed into the downloadable datasets:

### Key limitations you should factor into decisions

* The Abell sale catalog indicates **352 lots** total. [\[2]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/catalog?filters=4&page=2) This report’s downloadable index covers **only the 24-lot subset** contained in your export because reliable automated retrieval of all lot-detail pages/images was not consistently possible here.
* For high-value prints, **edition, printer/publisher, signature type, and condition** are the dominant value drivers; many of these fields remain “unspecified” without lot-page access (and should be verified directly on Abell’s platform before bidding).
* Buyer’s premium should be confirmed at checkout: Abell states **25%** for its auctions, while the Bidsquare mirror shows **28%** for this sale. [\[7]](https://auction.abell.com/auctions/abell/day-2-abell-weekly-auction-april-2-2026-22653/info)
