MICA: THE COLLECTION OF MICA ERTEGUN New York
Designer, philanthropist, collector, Mica Ertegun epitomised style and sophistication for a generation and beyond. This fall Christie’s presents the life and legacy of this arbiter of taste with a landmark auction series of exceptional art and objects drawn from her residences across the globe.
Anchored by René Magritte’s seminal L’empire des lumières, alongside other masterpiece art by Joan Miró, David Hockney and Ed Ruscha, her world-class collection includes exquisite furnishings, jewellery and more. Together, this collection embodies Mica’s refined eye and creative force.
A significant portion of the seller’s sale proceeds is intended to benefit philanthropic initiatives. During her lifetime, Mrs. Ertegun generously supported the Graduate Scholarship Programme in the Humanities at Oxford University, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the World Monument Fund and more.
