Brunk Auctions' April 22-23 Sale Features Modern Art, Furniture, Jewelry, and Photography
Brunk Auctions is planning a two-day auction on April 22 and 23. The first day, called 'Form and Vision,' will showcase 225 items that link modern art, furniture, and jewelry through themes like shape, structure, craftsmanship, and artistic vision. A significant part of the modern art comes from the collection of John Charles Walker and John Brett Buchanan, both retired professors from Kent State University. Walker started the university's first graphic design program in 1964 and developed it for 38 years, making it a respected field. Their collection highlights 50 years of impact on design education and contemporary art. The second day will concentrate on photography and Native American art, concluding with an Emporium auction.
