EBTH is pleased to present this extraordinary estate sale at The Windings in Clifton, a multigenerational selection of Lincolniana, fine paintings, important signed lithographs, sterling silver flatware, political and legal ephemera, and antiques from the collection of Anita and Ed Marks, and the late Grauman Marks. A dedicated collector, Grauman Marks had a discerning eye, as well as a musical ear, and his fine collection of political and legal ephemera, with many pieces acquired from renown autograph dealer Walter R. Benjamin, are proudly offered in this sale. Of note is an 1805 land grant signed by both President Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of State James Madison, as well as letters written by Henry Clay, Cassius Clay and John Jay. Anita and Ed Marks, who met in the darkroom of noted photographer Kazik Pazovski, under whom both of them studied, continued the fine art of collecting, with interests in New Orleans jazz, photography and American art, amassing an elegant and varied estate.
Fine examples of the art offered in this sale are signed lithographs by Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry, as well as an original Paul Chidlaw abstract oil. Ed Marks is a retired partner in the Cincinnati firm Barron, Peck, Bennie & Schlemmer, and active as a former representative of Cincinnati-Kharkiv Sister City Project, spending time in both Ukraine and Moldova, and in a teaching role for Leavitt Institute for International Development. Anita Marks is an accomplished graphic artist, calligrapher and quilter, whose many interests in vintage textiles, lithography and folk art are represented in the wonderful offerings in this sale.
