Property from the Collection of Dodie Rosekrans at Sotheby's New York
Sotheby’s is pleased to announce that it will offer Property from the Collection of Dodie Rosekrans in a series of auctions in New York through January 2012. Mrs. Rosekrans was an influential figure in San Francisco, Paris and Venice, known for her considerable charitable work, trendsetting style and patronage of both the fine and decorative arts.
The Rosekrans Collection is highlighted by a group of works from Pablo Picasso’s most prolific periods–led byCouple à la guitare from 1970 (est. $10/15 million)–as well as two iconic Round Jackie paintings by Andy Warhol from 1964 (ests. $3/4 million each), which will be offered in Sotheby’s May 2011 Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale and Contemporary Art Evening Auction respectively. In total, works from the Collection are estimated at more than $30 million.
Fine and decorative arts from the Collection will comprise a single-owner lifestyle sale in December 2011. The furniture and decorations on offer come from Mrs. Rosekrans’s San Francisco town house–designed by Michael Taylor–as well as her ‘Indian Jewel Box’ apartment in Paris and palazzo on the Grand Canal in Venice–both designed by Tony Duquette. Additional works from the Collection will be offered across a number of auctions at Sotheby’s New York, including Antiquities and Magnificent Jewels in December 2011, and Important Old Master Paintings & Sculpture and Important Old Master Drawings in January 2012. Further information will be available in the coming months.
