Texas Modernism featured at auction

By Martha Tiller

David Dike Fine Art presents the biannual Texas Art Preview & Auction on April 6. The spring sale features 251 lots of early to contemporary Texas art. John Stone, a successful landscape architect and fine art collector for more than 40 years, offers 60 paintings from his private collection. 

Assembled with passion and adored for many decades, the collection of John Stone is inspired by his love of and work with nature and a deep appreciation for Texas art, ranging from contemporary to traditional works.

The spring sale also features fresh works from the estate of Dallas’ own Otis Dozier. Other works by Dallas artists include Olin Travis, Edward Eisenlohr and Merritt Mauzey. 

In addition, Texas Modernism is represented with works by David Brownlow, Bill Bomar, Seymour Fogel and Zanne Hochberg, the latter of which are from her childrens’ collections. 

“I am delighted demand brings us to two yearly auctions,” Fort Worth native David Dike, founder and owner of David Dike Fine Arts, said. “New collectors, young buyers and Texas Art devotees are excited about the diversity of works from early Texas style to contemporary.”
