Largely overlooked since her death at age 54, Alice Baber (1928-1982) is once again receiving recognition alongside her contemporaries Helen Frankenthaler and Elaine de Kooning. The work in the auction, an oil on canvas from 1977 titled The Drum Road of the Jaguar, features brilliantly colored biomorphic forms. It's signed, titled and dated on verso and measures 58 inches by 77 inches (canvas, less frame). Paintings by Baber can be found at the MET, the Guggenheim and museums throughout the world. Estimate: $60,000-$120,000.

The oil on canvas by Susan Hertel (1930-1992) is titled Pasture at Night, Two Horses, Two Dogs. The painting measures 43 inches by 60 inches (canvas, minus the blonde wood frame). It's signed lower center and titled on an Ankrum Gallery (Los Angeles) label. Hertel often used photos of her family and animals from her ranches in California and New Mexico as a starting point. This work suggests a family snapshot inspired her. Estimate: $12,000-$20,000.
