Beginning at noon at its auction gallery at 1808 Chestnut St., Freeman's will offer glass, ceramics, metal, wood, furniture and lighting by mostly U.S. artisans, including George Nakashima, Paul Evans, architect Frank Gehry, and ceramicist Betty Woodman.

The Woodman piece, titled Winged Vessel, is expected to bring $10,000 to $15,000, one of the relatively few pieces with a five-figure presale estimate.

Featured in the 95 lots of wood and furniture are four church pews made in 1961 by Nakashima for the Church of St. Martin of Tours in New Hope, where he was a longtime parishioner. The pews were put in storage after the church moved.

Made of white oak and accompanied by copies of the original drawings for them, the pews are expected to sell for $6,000 to $8,000 each. (The auction catalog notes that additional pews may be available after the sale.)

A pair of Evans settees commissioned by the consignor are expected to sell for $4,000 to $6,000. A set of six "wiggle" chairs designed by Gehry in 1972 and made of corrugated cardboard are expected to bring $5,000 to $7,000. And a Thos. Moser "New Century" dining set, signed and dated 1995 and consisting of a cherry extension table, three side chairs, and an armchair, is expected to sell for $3,000 to $5,000.

The auction opens with 11 lots of glass by the Italian designer Fulvio Bianconi, long associated with Venini & Co., including a yellow Murano glass vase signed and dated 1994 that is expected to sell for $2,500 to $3,000.

Previews are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through next Friday. For more information, call 215-563-9275; view the catalog at www.freemansauction.com.

Warhol and more. More than 320 lots of postwar and contemporary art will be offered at Rago Arts & Auction Center, 333 N. Main St., Lambertville, beginning at noon May 17.

Five-figure prices are expected for many of the works, notably two Andy Warhol drawings, of Mother Goose and Howdy Doody, that he did for the Myths portfolio and that are expected to sell for $60,000 to $80,000.

The Mother Goose is particularly rare, says Meredith Hilferty, Rago's director of fine art, who notes that it never became part of the portfolio.

A 1982 graphite-on-paper drawing by Warhol titled Jon that depicts his "muse," Jon Gould, also is expected to sell for $60,000 to $80,000.

Five-figure prices are expected for Richard Pettibone's Andy Warhol ($60,000 to $80,000); Roy Lichtenstein's Aloha 1962 ($40,000 to $60,000), and Jasper Johns' The Disappearance ($18,000 to $24,000). An untitled oil-on-tarpaulin by Julian Schnabel, better-known now for his films, is expected to sell for $80,000 to $100,000.

Many works by artists whose reputations were established in the 1980s and '90s will be sold at the start of the session. They include two works by Piero Pizzi Cannella from the Nuova Scuola Romana, an untitled mixed-media on board ($7,000 to $9,000) and an ink-on-paper titled Cuore 4 Cuore ($3,000 to $5,000), and Martin Wong's Jodie Foster, an Expert Tells Why Fans Turn Fanatic ($4,000 to $6,000).

Works to be offered also include an etching illustration for Grimm's Fairy Tales by David Hockney ($900 to $1,200), a copper-and-iron structure by the German artist Joseph Beuys ($6,000 to $8,000), and a collection of framed C-prints titled Merida by the Irish American Sean Scully ($15,000 to $20,000), as well as photos by Weegee and Robert Mapplethorpe.

Previews are noon to 5 p.m. tomorrow through next Friday and 9 a.m. to sale time May 17. Information: 609-397-9374 or www.ragoarts.com.

Bakelite in Downingtown. More than a dozen lots of Bakelite jewelry will be featured by Pook & Pook Inc. at a sale beginning at noon next Friday at its gallery, 463 E. Lancaster Ave.

Most of the pieces are expected to sell for modest three-figure prices. For example, an early-20th-century dangling cherry brooch has a presale estimate of $150 to $250.

Only a few of the 360 lots are expected to sell for more than $1,000, notably three 14-karat yellow-gold bracelets composed of Mexican peso coins that date to about 1945, that could bring $2,000 to $3,000 each.

Previews are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to sale time next Friday. Information: 610-269-4040 or www.pookandpook.com.
