Also doing well at the Heller display was the work of Beth Lipman whose C-print photographs and tabletop installations of dishware reference the 17th century painting convention of the still life, updating and applying the awareness of mortality and virtuosic technical display the Dutch genre typified. Among Lipman’s sales was Tea Set (For Rachel and Maria), which sold for $16,500.
“We brought work ranging from the low thousands to $450,000,” said Heller. “We decided to bring a diverse group of the most important artists we have, and some of their most significant works. It seems to have been a good choice.”
