HOUSTON – More than 150 paintings from a collection featuring 20th century contemporary paintings, sculpture, photography and works on paper will be featured in a Lewis & Maese auction Wednesday, Feb. 27, beginning at 6:30 p.m. CST. LiveAuctioneers.com will provide Internet live bidding.

Two pieces by Dan Rizzie, American/Texan, 1951, will be on the block, including Alaine and Trait. Also represented in the auction is English painter, etcher and designer Graham Sutherland, (1903-1980), who was considered an abstract artist, as well as a surrealist.

Four pieces from the Ring Cycle Series of Houston abstract painter and sculptor Richard Stout, including Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Gotterdammerung and Sigfried, as well as an untitled work, will be sold. Herbert Richard Mears, American, 1951, Down the Block – Around the Corner is also on the block.
