The Rago Art & Auction Center will join the rush of autumn art sales this month with a two-session event a week from tomorrow devoted to American and European works from the 19th and 20th centuries and to the post-World War II era. Between the two, more than 350 works will be offered at the gallery at 333 N. Main St. in Lambertville.

The 19th- and 20th-century works, including paintings and statuary, will be offered at the opening session, beginning at 11 a.m. and featuring some of the sale's better-known artists, as well as many of the works with high presale estimates. Bridge at Charenton, an oil-on-canvas by Edward Willis Redfield, for instance, has a presale estimate of $30,000 to $40,000.

One of three Redfields in the sale, the painting was done in 1900 by the early Pennsylvania impressionist during his stay in France (where he met his wife) at the end of the 19th century. It was exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1900, in 1901 at the Paris Salon, and at the 70th annual Exhibition of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

A 12-foot-tall bronze cast in 1969 by Chaim Gross, Performer in a Diamond, has a presale estimate of $35,000 to $45,000. It was originally in the Allentown collection of Muriel and Philip Berman, who also were longtime supporters of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Most of the session's works are early 20th century, although it opens with an 1891 William T. Richards watercolor shore scene ($3,000 to $5,000) and also features Vernal Falls, Yosemite, an 1899 oil on canvas by Thomas Hill ($18,000 to $24,000). The 20th-century works include The Dance, a 1908 bronze by Bessie Onahotema Potter Vonnoh ($10,000 to $15,000); Peddler on Delancey Street, a graphite on paper by William Glackens exhibited in 1967 at the Rutgers University art gallery ($6,000 to $8,000); an untitled farm scene by Harry Leith-Ross (one of several by Leith-Ross in the sale) and a seaside scene by American Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt titled French, 1913 (both $12,000 to $18,000); and one of the later works, Floating Torso, done around 1940 by Ukrainian American Alexander Archipenko ($25,000 to $35,000).

Among European works are two bronzes by French artists: Archer, by the short-lived (1892-1925) Pierre Le Faguays ($18,000 to $24,000), and Le Comete, a 1925 silvered bronze on a marble base by Maurice Guiraud-Riviere ($15,000 to $25,000).

The second session, beginning at 2 p.m. and devoted to postwar and contemporary art with its own catalog, offers works dating to an untitled 1949 oil-on-canvas by Emerson Woelffer ($4,000 to $8,000) up to Shepard Fairey's 2008 offset lithograph Yes We Did (Obama) ($1,000 to $1,500).

In between are works by many big names, notably four by Andy Warhol, including an untitled graphite-on-paper picture done in 1982 of Jon Gould, described in the catalog as Warhol's "muse and greatest love." It has a presale estimate of $20,000 to $30,000. Two Warhol Campbell soup screenprints each have presale estimates of $8,000 to $12,000, and a 1971 screenprint from the electric-chair series has a presale estimate of $6,000 to $8,000.

Works by other well-known artists include Frank Stella's screenprint Albatross ($4,000 to $6,000); two lots of offset lithographs by Roy Lichtenstein, the 1965 Sunrise ($1,000 to $2,000) and the 1966 three-piece set As I Opened Fire ($1,000 to $1,500); and a 1991 ceramic tea set for six by Keith Haring ($1,800 to $2,400).

Other big-ticket items include Amazing Grace, a 1988 framed mixed-media abstract by the German Anton Henning ($12,000 to $18,000), and a 2005 graphite and oil wash on paper by young American Kehinde Wiley titled Elkannah Watson's Study ($10,000 to $15,000).
