Personal Art Collection of Dr. Maya Angelou For Sale
Please join us for the Dr. Maya Angelou estate tag sale from August 6th, 7th, and 8th. Click here to learn more.
Paintings, prints, posters, sculptures, and photographs are just some of the fine items being offered for sale from Maya Angelou’s collection.
Dr. Angelou published 36 books, of those being seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and several books of poetry. She also worked on plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She received dozens of awards and more than 50 honorary degrees and was the Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University for over 25 years.. Dr. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
“We are honored to be the agents handling the estate of Dr. Maya Angelou,” said Ryan Laster, manager of Laster’s Fine Art & Antiques. “These items decorated her walls, her floors, her gardens… Each piece is special in its own way.”
Works by renowned artists such as Phoebe Beasley, Alonzo Adams, Synthia Saint James, John Willard Banks, and Robert Gwathmey will be available for purchase. The collection is also teeming with original African-American paintings, prints, and sculptures, many with inscriptions to Dr. Angelou.
A total of three sales will be handled by Laster’s. The first being the sale in their gallery, the other two will be on-site tag sales where the contents inside the homes of Dr. Angelou will be offered to the public. Objects available will include furniture and other household items.
Laster’s handles high-end estates by either placing items in their gallery, conducting estate tag sales, or selling items at auction. They are constantly working with attorneys, executors, administrators, heirs, individuals and families performing various services based on their particular needs. Laster’s offers market value appraisals, gallery auction sales, on-site estate tag sales, commissioned consignments as well as the purchase of individual items or entire estate contents. They hold a professional respect toward the privacy of each client. All services and transactions will be held in complete confidence. Their goal is to achieve the highest amount for their clients.
Laster’s Fine Art and Antiques is located at 664 South Stratford Road, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Business hours are Monday-Saturday 10am-5:30pm. For more information, visit the website at www.lastersfineart.com.
