20th Century Design Auction at Sotheby's
7 March '12
New York
On March 7th 2012 Sotheby's New York will host a 20th Century Design Auction. The sale features a nice collection of contemporary lots balanced by the staples of early to midcentury collectible design.
With Sotheby's stock prices dropping due to drops in auction revenue it will be interesting to see if this collectible design auction will continue with this trend.
