When the hammer falls, Louis J.

Marion and the bidders will hare passed judgment on masterpieces which, if bid in by major museums, probably never will wind their way to an auction again. By Miles A. Smith NEW YORK (P Shortly after 8 p.m. this Wednesday, if all goes according to sched. ule, a broad-faced, red-haired man will whack a little ivory knob against the battered, dented edge of a paneled rostrum.

"Sold!" he will announce, and at that moment an overpowering tension will break. The Rembrandt masterpiece, "Aristotle Contemplating Bust of Homer," will have a new owner. The price is expected to be around a million dollars. Perhaps half again as much. Multimillionaire collectors.

museum officials and agents from all over the world will shift in their chairs and then pull themselves together to catch the bidding on the next item. Art On The Block. Even with "the big one" gone, there will be plenty more. By 9 p.m. or thereabouts, the little ivory nob will have cracked down for the 24th time and the auction will be over.

The total bids will run $3 million or so in approximately an hour. For these two dozen paintings, almost without exception, are top grade. There is a Perugino "'St. Augustine" worthy of any museum in world. There is a Crivelli "Madonna they and Child" that would look well with the two associated panels now in the Metropolitan Museum.

There are prime examples of ther work of Cranach, Holbein, Terborch, Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Raeburn, Romney, Fragonard and Nattier. The scene will be the Bernet Galleires on Madison jeweled ladies, shipping magnates, oil barons and big names in society and finance running up some new records for French art. This time it is the old masters. It is the collection of advertising man Alfred W. son, who died in 1936.

His widow, Anna, died last February at 84. She divided the estate into so many parts that the collection had to be turned into cash, much to the despair of several museum directors who had been hopeful. From Rembrandt's Brush. Erickson paid Duveen Bros. for the "Aristotle" in 1928.

It had been painted in 1653 when Rembrandt was at the height of his powers. It has been in some famous collections over the centuries. After the financial crash of 1929 Erickson sold it back to the Duveens for $500,000. The year of his death he bought it once again for $590,000. It is a large inches canvas showing a three quarter length figure in a black robe, loose white cloak and broadbrimmed hat, with his right hand resting on a marble bust of the poet.

It is very dark in its present state, and the new owners may want to have some of the heavy varnish cleaned off to bring out the glowing colors. 8 How often does a remarkable masterpiece like this come on the open market? Not in many decades. Most of Rembrandt's major works already are frozen in museums, never to reach the market again. "An Emotional Experience." In New York art circles it is said the Soviet Embassy will be represented, purposefully. Ag.

ents for European collectors will be on hand. It also is known that certain American museums have a backlog for special occasions, without having to pass the hat among their benefactors. Among them, just to name some possibilities, are New York's Metropolitan, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the William Rockhill Nelson gallery in Kansas City and the Toledo Museum of Art. As for the "Aristotle" Hyam says, "You can't stand in front of this painting without realizing it is something that ranks with Dante or Shakespeare. It is an emotional experience." Marion Looks Over Rembrandt's "Aristotle" Avenue, where plush apartments, art galleries and fancy shops have created a setting for the rich and knowing.

The man in the rostrum will be Louis J. Marion, executive vice president of the galleries and head of its auctioneering staff. He is fiftyish, with the quickest blue eyes in the business. He looks Irish; but says he is of Italian descent. He has a computer-like mind, fast and sharp, and enough nervous energy for three.

One Million Opener. Marion, an ebullient man, says he is going to get an opening bid of $1 million on the "Aristotle." He has been banging that little ivory nob for a quarter of a century. Nonetheless, he is as tense as an opera singer or a pro quarterback before the bidding starts. Then he relaxes and the electronic mind takes over. In the midst of auction fever and intense rivalry, while fashionably dressed men and women all over the room try to conceal their agitation with poker faces, he must have the coolest head in the place.

There is tradition behind him. Parke-Bernet and its predecessors have been selling art objects of the rich for three-quarters of a century. Not just paintings. Back in 1930 an anvil used by Paul Revere brought $9,800. In 1947 a "Bay Psalm Book," the first book printed in the colonies, brought a record price of $151,000.

Lincoln's ax handle, Caruso's wigs, Cromwell's sword and Lillian Russell's golden shoes have raised an auction fever in days gone past. Windfall in Masterpieces. But mostly the big auctions have been for paintings. There was the Georges Lurcy collection, mainly Impressionists, that sold in 1957 for more than $2 million. And the Arnold Kirkeby sale the following year, featuring French moderns, when in 60 minutes the bids ran to a million and a half, with be- A New Glitter for Park Avenue Tar Heels traveling to New York are finding staid old Park Avenue has taken on glitter.

Gleaming office prem buildings are rising among the aging mansions and what was a prestige addreses for yesterday's millionaires is now a prestige headquarters for imageconscious corporations. By John Cunniff NEW YORK (AP) Were they present now, the fashionable Park Avenue ladies of 50 years ago would hardly know how to invite their neighbors to tea. And their neighbors International Telephone Telegraph Colgate-Palmolive Joseph E. Seagram Sons and Union Carbide Corp. hardly would know how to reply.

"Backing into the bidding" is the term used by players when the first opportunity to bid is passed and a bid made later when it is obvious, or seemingly so, that the bidding is dying at too low a level. It is a gambling bid and generally produces unusual results. Such a bid was made with this hand.

"Our new building and A Park Avenue address have turned our girls into fashion plates," says an ITT spokesman. Others claim they can be choosier in hiring, and that their employes are more efficient.

Owners say new-style buildings are easier to maintain. Park Avenue even at night, is distinctive monumentally silent and aloof, although only blocks from Broadway. The latter is alive at night, a hotlighted street with galloping neons and brazen, beckoning arrows. But on Park Avenue the buildings are either serenely dark or softly lit like candles.
