On June 14 and 15, Christie’s shifts the focus to luxury for the home, with a finely curated offering of the best in modern design. The star lot of Important 20th Century Decorative Art & Design on June 14 is a ground-breaking work by the celebrated artist Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988). The Dretzin Table (estimate: $800,000-$1,200,000), is arguably the most important work by the artist to ever be offered in a public sale. The table was commissioned in 1948 by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Dretzin as their summer home in Chappaqua, New York, was being redesigned by the architect Samuel Katz, who introduced the couple to Noguchi. For their sleek new home, featured in House & Garden in February 1950, the Dretzins commissioned three pieces from Noguchi, a dining table, a related hanging light, and the exquisite marble low table to be offered in the sale. As much a sculptural work of art as a functional object, the Dretzin table evokes the artist’s “Totem” sculptures of 1945 to 1948, as well as the contours of a serene Japanese landscape.
