New York Auction African & Oceanic Works of Art
Published May 7th, 2008
Bonhams will hold an auction of African and Oceanic art on May 15, 2008 in New York.
The upcoming auction is expected to entice aficionados of the genre. As Bonhams’ African and Oceanic specialist Scott Rodolitz states, “Amongst the approximately 200 lots we will be offering, the sale will feature more than 25 pieces from the Bohlen Collection of African Art. As this is one of the premiere collections of African art in the country, I’m sure the sale will attract an extremely enthusiastic group of bidders.”
The May 2008 sale will be one of the first to take place in Bonhams’ new Manhattan showrooms at 580 Madison Ave, formerly the home of the respected Dahesh Museum, a splendid venue for the works on display. The sale’s lots will go on preview on May 9th continuing daily until the sale on May 15th. The auction’s illustrated catalog will be online for review and purchase at www.bonhams.com/us
