The works, most ordered in the 1970s, are accompanied by drawings from Nakashima as well as correspondence between the artist and the collector. Other sale highlights include works from Chandigarh, India by Pierre Jeanneret, as well as American mid-century designs by George Nelson & Associates, Charles and Ray Eames and Greta Magnusson Grossman.
