Leonard Auction to Sell Large Turzak CollectionPosted Jan-04-08 20:21:31 PST About Charles Turzak: Charles Turzak was born in 1899 in Streator, Illinois. Following high school he attended the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. Upon graduation in 1924, Turzak began his career as a free-lance artist. Turzak cut many woodblocks for the 1933 World’s Fair and his work was prominently featured at that event. Following his success at the World’s Fair, Turzak participated in several federal depression-era art programs that allowed him to develop several woodcuts into murals. One of these murals still survives at the Post Office in Lemont, Illinois. Charles Turzak died in 1986. Examples of Turzak’s work may be found in the collections of Library of Congress, Yale University Art Gallery, The Art Institute of Chicago, Northwestern University's Mary and Leigh Block Gallery and the Illinois State Historical Library. Welcome to the Leonard Auction Blog!Posted Jan-01-08 17:05:04 PST Welcome to the Leonard Auction Blog! We will be posting interesting items related to antiques, auctions, collectibles, eBay and estate sales on the blog and welcome your contributions. About us... Leonard Auction was founded by auctioneer and appraiser John Leonard in 2004. Leonard Auction began as an on-site auction company and eBay seller before opening our first auction house in 2006. Located in Naperville, Illinois, the business quickly outgrew the space and in September of 2007 we opened our new auction house in Addison, Illinois. Our premiere 8,000 square foot facility is one of the largest in Chicago and features a unique showroom and auction floor that provides the industry's best experience for bidders. Leonard Auction conducts twelve 19th & 20th Century Antique & Collectible auctions throughout the year on the second Saturday of each month. These sales feature a wide variety of antiques & collectibles including (but certainly not limited to): furniture, fine art & sculpture, jewelry, dolls, clocks, cars, books, china, desks, pottery, crystal, bottles, radios, watches, silver, glass, tools and slot machines. Additionally, each month features a specialty theme that is featured. Themes include "Coins & Currency," "Toys, Trains & Advertising," and "Books, Manuscripts & Paper." We are continually accepting consignments for all upcoming sales. In addition to our regular auction schedule we conduct 8-10 select estate sales throughout the year. These sales are also known as "tag sales" or "conducted house sales" and allow us to settle estates in situations where an auction is not feasible. We have been noted for conducting such high profile sales as the 3-Day Sale at Benedictine Sisters' Sacred Heart Monastery. Please visit our website at www.leonardauction.com for more information. |
