SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – With more than 30 years of experience in the auction industry as a personal property appraiser and auctioneer, Stephen Turner of Turner Auctions + Appraisals is sharing his industry expertise and ushering in the next generation of auction specialists by presenting & DAUGHTERS Auctions – founded by daughters Cassandra Turner and Elysia Turner-Lechelt, along with Jason Krell. With that in mind, Turner Auctions + Appraisals is hosting & DAUGHTERS’ premiere auction, MOVERS & SHAKERS, on Saturday, June 24. It will feature more than 90 lots of luxury fashion, jewelry and accessories; rare feminist books; and works by woman artists. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
“Like many fathers, I hoped that my daughters would take an interest in my business,” said Stephen Turner. “To see them embrace the auction industry, while putting a unique spin on it, makes me extremely proud.” For nearly two years he has been mentoring Team & DAUGHTERS and sharing his decades of knowledge so they are well-positioned to create and host auctions with their own unique approach and style.
Van Cleef & Arpels 18K white gold and diamond Alhambra earrings, estimated at $3,000-$5,000
Located in Canada and Europe, & DAUGHTERS is embracing the romance of the auction world while harnessing the power of technology and social media to create a business that knows no boundaries and attracts a new demographic of buyer and seller. “We believe the auction industry is filled with opportunity – not only to find and present beautiful property, but also to grow the business in a way that highlights under-represented artists,” said Cassandra Turner. “Women artists, for example, currently account for less than 4% of total art sold at auction, and one of our goals for & DAUGHTERS is to showcase the talented emerging female artists who deserve recognition by the auction industry.”
Highlights of the June 24 MOVERS & SHAKERS sale include:
