THE COLLECTION OF CHERMAYEFF & GEISMAR
Internationally known designers Chermayeff & Geismar,
the team that has revolutionized visual communication,
chose Stair
Galleries as their venue for selling the art collection they
have amassed from around the globe over the past four decades.
This single-owner sale fully displays the variety and depth
of their collection. Not only are there A-list artists being
offered; there are emerging artists represented in the sale
and significant artists to be rediscovered.
Chermayeff & Geismar images and icons are burned into
our subconscious.
Every day we see the bold graphic logos they created: PBS,
NBC, Xerox, Viacom, Screen Gems, Mobil, Chase Manhattan and
many more.
The pieces offered at auction were the works that inspired
them and the artists they nurtured and encouraged. The collection
touched upon nearly every significant art movement of the
20th century, from Bauhaus to Pop, taking us through an international
evolution of Modernism and revealing the impact it has had
on our lives.

AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN FINE ART including 19th century works
from the Thomas Van Loan Collection.
In 1911 Thomas Van Loan, a prominent spice and coffee merchant,
sold his residence in Brooklyn and dispatched a large and
valuable collection of paintings and objets d'art to his
ancestral home in Athens, New York and in effect created
a private museum.*
It is with great pleasure that Stair Galleries presented,
for the first time in nearly one hundred years, a group of
paintings from the collection originally assembled by Thomas
Van Loan. Included in the sale were paintings by, attributed
to or after: Joseph Boston, Henry Gasser, Aaron Shattuck,
Marcel Dyf, Maria A’Becket, Chaim Gross, Maurice Brun,
Frans Kels, Jonh F. Herring, L. Bemelmans, Gilbert Gaul,
Filipo Indoni, George M. Bruestle anf many more.

Place at Athens, New York,” Hope Farm Press,
