They will also showcase a wide-ranging collection of Henry ​ Moore’s work, anchored by Mother and Child: Block Seat. A notable Marc Chagall will also be ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ displayed. The piece was produced during his first visit to Paris in 1910, which was one of his most fertile and important periods, yet there are very few works that have survived from this period. ● ARCHEUS / POST-MODERN (London) will present work from Post-War and Contemporary artists ​ ​ including Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Lynn Chadwick, Enrico Castellani, and Victor Vasarely – ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ who is widely considered to be the leader of the op-art movement. They will also have, Untitled ​ (Black and gray) from 2009 by Los Angeles based painter, Jonas Wood, whose work has fetched ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $1.2-million at a charity auction. ● Leslie Feely Fine Art (New York) will bring several high-value works by American expressionist ​ ​ painter Richard Diebenkorn that are new to the market.

A mother and juvenile Allosaur, that are 120-million years old are available, as is an astonishingly ​ ​ well-preserved Dinosaur Egg Nest from the Cretaceous period, 75-million years ago. These amazing ​ artifacts are offset by the dazzling beauty of hand selected minerals and gems from the Zigras and Pohl collections.

Also featured is a 75-million-year-old Ammolite from Canada, ​ ​ which possesses a rare opalized surface displaying all colors in the light spectrum.

The E3 was introduced in 1968 and featured innovative and groundbreaking technology, which mirrored the technological-led social change that was happening in America and Europe at the time.
