  • The Colonial Williamsburg Collection

    The first major exhibition of Southern furniture in 50 years, the collection highlights the taste, technology and cultural diversity of furniture from the South's three principal regions: the Chesapeake, the Low Country and the Backcountry.

  • Kiesler Nesting Tables Hatch World Record at Butterfields
    March 26, 2002

    A crowded gallery broke into applause after a collector paid nearly $190,000 for the brushed aluminum two-piece coffee table, one of three examples known. Twentieth Century decorative arts, furniture, art glass and fine art offered totaled more than $1.255 million.

  • Sotheby's Auctions the 'Highly Esoteric' Ellsworth Collection of Chinese Bronzes for $1.67 Million
    March 26, 2002

    Joe Hynn-Yang and Mee-seen Loong of the firm's Chinese Works of Art department commented, "We were particularly pleased to see the level of private participation given that this was the first single-owner sale of archaic bronzes since 1983."

  • Up-and-Down Sales of American and European Prints and Paintings at Skinner Bring a $1.2 Million Total and a Surprise Top Lot
    March 26, 2002

    Twenty-eight percent, or 151 of the 538 lots offered, did not meet their reserve prices and were bought in, which a Skinner spokeswoman attributed to the "slower economy" in New England. However, the prices for a number of paintings and prints far exceeded their estimates.

  • Four Florida Shows
    March 26, 2002

    It’s January, and in the antiques world you are either in New York City or Florida. The Big Apple offers a core of high profile shows and auctions, and the Sunshine State features sunspots of 50 shows from Naples to Jacksonville. Where would you rather be?

  • Winnetka Women's Club Hosts Fourth Annual Antiques Show
    March 26, 2002

    Initial friction between this show and the Winnetka Community House Antiques Show, held on the same dates and separated by only several blocks, has lessened, since they are really two independent events showcasing different exhibitors.

  • Surveying the Big Apple in Modern Art
    March 26, 2002

    The paintings, prints, drawings and photographs at Vassar’s Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center span the years from the Armory Show of 1913, which introduced Americans to the aesthetics of modern European painting and sculpture, to the rise of the "New York School" painters in the 1950s.

  • New York and Palestine
    March 26, 2002

    Although the 60 pictures by Braun in this Hirschl & Adler exhibition span only a few years, they are remarkable for their documentation of contemporary Jewish life, both in the United States and Palestine.

  • Figurative Expressionists and American Modernism in Boston
    March 26, 2002
