FROM THE COLLECTION OF ROCHELLE RUSSELL AULETTA (LOTS 77-79)These paintings were acquired and treasured by Rochelle Russell Auletta (1938-2017), an American who was an enthusiastic art history teacher and accomplished artist. Beginning with her service in the Peace Corps in 1962, Mrs. Auletta eagerly studied world cultures and traveled widely throughout her life. In 1985, while living in Singapore, she visited China, where she met several artists, including Cheng Shifa, and acquired paintings from them.
