According to Mark Twain, life is for living, and who could argue with that?
In this month’s interview, you will see that Alice Bailey, Head of Sale
of Islamic Art, traveled the world fulfilling her passion for Islamic Art –
living in Istanbul, studying in Canada and London and working at the
world famous British Museum and the V&A Museum. The Indian &
Islamic Works of Art & Textiles sale itself features the Collection of the
Late Djafar Ghazi, who traveled the world seeking out manuscripts and
calligraphies, ultimately creating one of the finest collections in the world.
Of course, you will need some help to navigate your way around the
globe in search of your passion and what better than a 17th century
Ivory diptych dial – which serves as a compass and sundial – in our
Travel, Science & Natural History sale. Well, perhaps you might need
something a little more high tech but then, where’s the fun in that?
We look forward to seeing you at Christie’s South Kensington this April.
Hugh Edmeades
CHAIRMAN, CHRISTIE’S SOUTH KENSINGTON.
