NEW YORK (AP) — A rare marble sculpture by Auguste Rodin (ah-GOOST' roh-DAN') and three French paintings never before at auction are among the highlights of Sotheby's sale of impressionist and modern art. Paul Signac's (SIN'-yak) "The Port Houses, Saint-Trope" could bring $8 million to $12 million and is among 62 works being offered at the evening sale on Monday. There also are two major works created during the short-lived Fauve period. Andre Derain's 1906 view of the River Thames, "Red Sails," is estimated to sell at between $15 million and $20 million. Maurice de Vlaminck's 1905 landscape "Underbrush" has a $12 million to $18 million estimate. Rodin's "Eternal Springtime" was created out of a single block of marble in 1901-1903. It was last auctioned in 1977 and could bring $8 million to $12 million.
