Zook art auction planned

An auction featuring 3D artworks by Amish twin brothers Aaron and Abner Zook will take place on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the PA Auction Center, 1141 Wea Wit St., East Earl. A total of 22 pieces will be sold. Guests may enjoy hors d'oeuvres and refreshments starting at 5 p.m. before the auction begins at 6 p.m. All items will be offered with no reserve and will sell to the highest bidder regardless of price.

The auction will feature a portion of the collection belonging to James Binsberger, an avid collector of Abner's work. Even after the auction, Binsberger will still retain one of the largest collections of Abner's artworks.

People may preview the artworks during business hours on Mondays through Fridays, from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

In addition to Aaron and Abner, featured artists in the exhibit will be Aaron's son Abe Zook; Abner and Aaron's cousin Joel Zook; Jose Lacera, who worked for Abner for six years; Mary Sensenig; Lorraine Reiff and Erma Hoover.

Notable pieces in the collection include depictions of Lancaster Central Market, the Soudersburg covered bridge, and the Clinton Mill in Clinton, N.J.; 13 primary sketches that led to the final 3D artworks by Aaron and Abner; and a handcrafted Conestoga wagon and horse-drawn plow by Joel.
