A 1971 portrait of the artist Stanley Whitney painted by\u00a0Barkley Hendricks<\/a>\u00a0is poised to break a record for the artists when it is offered at auction in May.<\/p>\n

The painting, titled \u201cStanley,\u201d picture its titular subject in street clothes standing against a gold background and smoking a cigarette. It will be offered during a single owner sale at Christie\u2019s where it\u2019s expected to fetch $5 million. If it reaches its low estimate, the painting\u2019s sale will be a record price for a work by Hendricks, who died in 2017 at the age of 72.<\/p>\n

The two Philadelphia-born artists met while studying at Yale University in the 1970s. Hendricks would eventually become known for his paintings of fashion forward subjects \u2014predominantly depicting people of color in his inner circles. He\u2019s credited for influencing the current generation of Black figurative painters working today.<\/p>\n

The last time a major Hendricks work came to auction was in December 2020. The 1972 canvas\u00a0Mr. Johnson (Sammy from Miami<\/a>)<\/em>, 1972, depicting one of the artist\u2019s signature nonchalantly-posed models sold for $4 million during a Sotheby\u2019s contemporary sale in New York\u2014setting a new auction record for the artist. The result surpassed the previous high of $3.7 million paid for Hendricks\u2019s\u00a0Yocks\u00a0<\/em>(1975) at Sotheby\u2019s in 2019.<\/p>\n

Recognition surged for Hendricks following the Nasher Museum of Art\u2019s lauded retrospective \u201cBarkley L. Hendricks: Birth of the Cool,\u201d in 2008 at Duke University. Whitney, who is 77, has seen his own milestones recently. His abstract works garnered attention during a collateral exhibition staged at the last edition of the Venice Biennale in 2022.<\/p>\n

The painting will be being offered alongside a group of other works owned by the Boston developer Gerald Fineberg, who died in December 2022. 500 works from the real-estate magnate\u2019s holdings that include paintings by art historical heavyweights like Willem de Kooning and Gerhard Richter, valued at $8 million and $15 million, respectively, will also be sold.<\/p>\n

Fineberg, while amassing his collection of contemporary art, served on the boards of Massachusetts art institutions including the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University and the Institute of Contemporary Art<\/a> (ICA), Boston. The latter has a wall named for Fineberg and his wife, Sandra.<\/p>\n

The estate collection is expected to generate a total of $270 million, according to Christie\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
