New York | On March 30, Christie’s will auction about 250 lots from the estate of the late Kathleen DuRoss Ford, the widow of auto titan Henry Ford II. A few weeks later, the auction house will host a separate sale from her estate in London, where she had an apartment on Eaton Square.
In total, Ford’s estate will comprise about 650 lots, with an overall estimate in excess of $US5 million.
“It was sort of a closed collection that we knew existed,” says Jonathan Rendell, Christie’s deputy chairman and head of sale curation. “We’re discovering this is an amazing group, right at the top, of decorative arts especially that no one’s had a chance to get their hands on for a long time.”
