Hello everyone and Happy Spring!

My summer auction has arrived. It's a pretty large one... We are starting with 70 lots of Edward Curtis.

If Curtis is not your cup of tea, then you can jump to lot 71 and that starts the Folk Art session. Next Outsider, Contemporary and Fine. There are many great things to see and bid on. I'll send another email out soon with more details on the auction.

The auction is on June 26th and we will have a reception on Thursday, June 20th from 5–7PM with our special guest Mitch O'Connell. He and I will chat publicly about how many cool things are on the auction block.

What follows is a nice featurette from Chicago Gallery News about Potter & Potter.

Anticipating a Season of Art: Five to Talk to – Aron Packer, Potter & Potter Auctions

Aron Packer – Potter & Potter Auctions

"As the Fine and Outsider Art Specialist at Potter & Potter, I never know exactly what will come through our doors. To a certain extent, auction houses play the cards they've been dealt - which keeps the entire team on its toes. As an example of "I never knew this would happen," we recently acquired an important collection of Edward S. Curtis works.

Named the "Best Auction House in Chicago" for 2024 by the Chicago Reader, Potter & Potter looks forward to burnishing that hard-won award, especially in its rapidly growing art department. Our art sales occur in June and December and offer pieces in all genres, from all time periods, spanning the categories of Outsider, Folk, Contemporary and Fine Art. We accept consignments on a rolling basis.

For the fall season I will organize A Cabinet of Morbid Curiosities: The Collection of Richard Harris. This all-encompassing death-related collection addresses this serious and precarious topic in a continuum from humor to tragedy and beyond."

See you soon!
Best, Aron
