Gavel& Grace

The Estate of the Honorable Sandra Schultz Newman (1938–2026)

Freeman’s is honored to present Grace and Gavel: The Estate of Honorable Sandra Schultz Newman, a collection that reflects the life and legacy of one of Philadelphia’s most formidable and charismatic figures. A native of the city, Justice Newman built a groundbreaking legal career defined by a series of firsts- from serving as Montgomery County’s first female assistant district attorney to becoming the first woman elected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Her tenure on the bench, as well as her decades in private practice, established her as a sharp, tenacious advocate and a trailblazer for women in the legal profession.

Beyond her professional achievements, Newman was a commanding presence in Philadelphia’s cultural and social spheres. Frequently described as a “force of nature,” she moved effortlessly between the courtroom and the city’s most prominent gatherings, cultivating a reputation not only as a jurist, but as a discerning tastemaker with a strong and individual sense of style.

That sensibility is reflected throughout the collection she assembled over a lifetime. Spanning fine art, design, and jewelry, the series of sales offers a multifaceted view of Newman’s eye- one drawn to refined craftsmanship and objects of lasting presence. From important works of art and sculpture to design and exceptional jewels, each category provides a more intimate lens onto her world.

Freeman’s is proud to present this collection across a series of sales in June 2026, celebrating a life defined not only by historic achievement, but by confidence, taste, and enduring individuality.

Canyon Harvest color crayon and wash on paper signed R.C. Gorman (lower left)

$2,000 - 3,000

Lot Note:

The present work appears to relate to R.C. Gorman’s Canyon Harvest composition, a subject the artist also developed in stained glass and in the closely related acrylic painting Golden Harvest. Across these iterations, Gorman explores a composition of three women arranged in a closely interrelated grouping. Executed in color crayon and wash on paper, the present work is distinguished by a more restrained and selective use of color, while still reflecting his characteristic palette of warm golds, oranges, and earth tones. The drawing may represent a preparatory study or developmental exploration of this motif, which the artist revisited across multiple media. As such, it offers insight into Gorman’s working process and the evolution of a recurring compositional theme.

“My Mother started collecting Alex Katz and Harry Bertoia in the 1970s. Art was always a lifelong passion for her and was enjoyed by the entire family in her home.”

–Jonathan Newman, Son of Justice Newman

Four sculptures by Harry Bertoia (1915-1978) from Justice Newman’s collection are offered in this sale, reflecting the extraordinary range of the artist’s sculptural practice. Working across a variety of metals and alloys, Bertoia challenged the boundaries between design and art, developing a rich vocabulary of forms, motifs, and techniques.

The group spans nearly two decades of the artist’s career and includes two distinct bush forms: an intimate tabletop example from the 1960s (Lot 35) and a larger welded and patinated bronze sculpture from the mid-1970s (Lot 37). Together, they demonstrate Bertoia’s enduring fascination with texture, density, and the interplay of light across clustered forms.

Also included is a striking vertical spray sculpture in stainless steel wire (Lot 38), its radiating branches rising from a stone base with a remarkable sense of movement. Completing the group is an important large-scale bronze and copper sculpture from the 1970s (Lot 36), whose richly patinated surface and commanding presence exemplify Bertoia’s ability to imbue metal with an almost geological character.

Bertoia’s connection to Pennsylvania lends particular resonance to these works. After relocating to Bally in the 1950s, he spent the remainder of his career there, producing many of his most celebrated sculptures and establishing himself as one of the region’s most influential artistic figures. Assembled over decades, Justice Newman’s collection reflects a deep appreciation for the breadth of Harry Bertoia’s practice and his unique ability to bridge art, design, and nature.

Suzanne Horvitz (American, b. 1940)

Echo of the Deep mixed media on glass panel

Each: 66 x 26 1/2 inches.

Lot Note:

This work by Suzanne Horvitz is a mixed-media composition on glass panel, executed in verre églomisé (glass gilding and reverse painting on glass) and incorporating photography, digital transfers, and silkscreen. Designed and made for Sandra Newman, the work has not previously been exhibited. The composition references the Sirens from Homer’s Odyssey, a recurring motif in Horvitz’s practice through which she explores themes of allure, transformation, and danger. Through layered imagery and wordplay, Horvitz combines text and image to create a reflective, dreamlike field that evokes shifting perception and the space between material and illusion. Other panels from this series have been exhibited at the Noyes Museum in 2025, in Cairo in 2019, and in Yangon in 2016.

$600,000 - 800,000

This 1975 painting, Trishie and Laddy (Lady), of a close-cropped view of a woman and her dog amid a sunlit park, highlights Katz’s ability to distill personality and explore larger thematic types through portraiture.

The subject of international acclaim, including more than 200 solo exhibitions, Alex Katz (American, b. 1927) came of age in New York during the 1950s alongside the rise of Abstract Expressionism, which he deliberately eschewed, preferring instead to champion representational painting. To this end he applied a now characteristic and vibrant visual language balancing realism and abstraction, ambivalence and intimacy. Katz has sought to share his world through his painting, whether through hundreds of portraits of his wife of almost 65 years, Ada, his home in coastal Maine, or, as in Trishie and Laddy (Lady), scenes and characters from downtown New York City among the cultural avant garde and his love of dogs.

Katz has created a number of paintings and prints featuring dogs throughout his career, with his dog Sunny as a frequent model. A double portrait, Vincent and Sunny (1967), of Katz’s son and the Skye Terrier even hangs in the foyer of the Katz apartment.[i] With his typical flat handling of color and form bordering on the edge of abstraction, Katz strips away extraneous detail in order to center the personality and spirt of these animals, lavishing the same care as for any other portrait. This is especially apparent in these double portraits of dogs and people such as Trishie and Laddy (Lady), where Katz relies on a shared visual language between Trishie and Laddy to contrast their personalities and emotional states within the snapshot moment of his encounter with them. Within the painting, elements of Trishie and Laddy mirror each other. The V-neck of the woman’s shirt echoes the triangular open mouth of the pup, possibly a Borzoi or other aristocratic hound.

The soft fringes of Trishie’s bangs are reminiscent of the waves of Laddy’s ears while the short dark strokes of the dog’s whiskers are seen again in the lashes covering the woman’s downcast eyes. Balanced by the complementary greens in the surrounding park, each is defined by a shared palette of pinks, warm oranges, and browns, with some white highlights and only a hint of cooler grays in the dog’s nose and woman’s irises.

In highlighting the connection between Laddy and Trishie, their different personalities are laid bare: Trishie’s shadowed eyes, bleary from sleep or otherwise unfocused in comparison to Laddy’s exuberance, and Laddy’s panting in excitement in opposition to Trishie’s closed mouth and narrowed eyes.

The woman’s careful grooming, set off by her vertical beehive hairstyle, reiterates stillness and a sense of buttoned-up composure offset by the horizontal darting into the frame by Laddy’s long snout.

Katz, when describing how he chooses his subjects, explained his goals of illustrating real people while also examining social types and themes through carefully presented pictorial information. He shares:

When you made it figure and environment in a real clear way, it had a way of abstracting into a more generalized statement. The particular person became A Woman.... I figured if I could paint a particular subject, it could be both specific and universal. It could be a certain person and a generalized woman.[ii]

This dual appeal of balancing the familiar with the universal is captured in Trishie and Laddy (Lady). Apparently awoken and thus faced with quotidian task of taking her ecstatic dog for a walk, the woman pauses, arranging and shellacking a complicated hairstyle into place before heading to a New York park with her well-heeled dog. Trishie and Laddy reflect a generalize pair contrasting energy and composure, coolness and fervor, that might be encountered on New York City streets as well as a very specific woman and dog the viewer would like to know more.

He developed a practice rooted in public art and large-scale commissions, with works installed in prominent civic and institutional settings across the country.

In Philadelphia, his presence is especially visible through major public sculptures, including Benjamin Franklin – Craftsman at City Hall and his well-known athletic figures such as The Batter and Play at Second Base, now installed near Citizens Bank Park. These works reflect his distinctive ability to translate physical energy into monumental form, securing his place as a key figure in the city’s public art landscape.
