В Нью-Йорке стартуют аукцион знаменитой коллекции антиквариата и продажа римской скульптуры за 12 млн долларов

Antiques: Roman Imperial sculpture auction in New York A series of auctions from an amazing single-owner collection, including the most important Roman Imperial sculpture at auction in over a decade, will kick off at Sotheby’s in New York in October. Assembled over decades, it encompasses more than 900 works ranging from Roman Imperial marble, Old Master paintings, ancient Asian ceramics, Islamic court carpets, Royal French furniture, Impressionist masterworks and 20th-century design. Probably representing Augustus, Tiberius, or Claudius, the commanding Roman sculpture, complete with upper-body armour, is estimated at $8m-$12m (€6.92m-€10.38m). Works from a private collection, expected to realise more than $60 million (€51.9 million), will be displayed across four floors of Sotheby’s new HQ at the Breuer building in New York from October 17-22.
