AUCTIONS   Americana at Christie’s New York

September 16–28   Find out more

Americana at Christie’s New York embraces the patriotic spirit behind American furniture, folk art and silver and blends that energy with innovative outsider art. Highlights include a sword owned by Benjamin Franklin, Tiffany & Co. and Gorham silver, a sculpture from William Edmondson and two pieces by self-taught artist Sam Doyle. The pulse quickens with the auction of The Private Collection of President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan. Sold to benefit the Ronald Reagan Presidental Foundation & Institute, the auction — furniture, decorative pieces, books, memorabilia, jewelry and artworks from the Reagans’ Los Angeles home — opens the legacy of an iconic president. As Christie’s galleries celebrate Americana with masterpieces from our American Paintings online auction also on exhibit, we look forward to welcoming you to our New York viewings beginning September 17. The exhibition is supported by The Wall Street Journal.
