DESIGN ACROSS THE CENTURIES

Our February sale brings together a curated group of works from private collections, ranging from ancient pottery to modern and contemporary design. Highlights include two of James Turrell's very first holograms, a strong collection of ancient Mimbres pottery, museum-worthy African tribal art from a Private collection, and more than 90 lots of fine jewelry. The catalogue moves easily across periods and cultures, with an emphasis on objects chosen for their visual strength and quality. Many have been held privately for years and are rarely seen on the market.
