Drawings in New York
An auction series devoted to Old Master paintings, drawings and works of art has long been a feature of the first month of the year in New York for Sotheby’s and Christie’s. The former carries on the tradition at full pelt, its Masters Week mounting a total of no fewer than half a dozen single- and mixed-owner sales in these categories between January 31-February 2.
Christie’s, on the other hand, will be holding its Old Master paintings auctions in the Big Apple in the spring as part of its Classic Week. For the January slot Christie’s is confining itself to a works on paper element with a single, 94-lot auction of Old Master and British drawings on January 30.
