NEW YORK CITY—On May 14, 2018, Sotheby’s
will hold its spring sales of art from Africa, Oceania,
and the Americas in its New York headquarters.
Leading these will be a single-owner sale featuring
an installment of the outstanding collection
of Howard and Saretta Barnet, which has been the
subject of a number of specialized auctions. These
have spanned contemporary art, classical paintings,
drawings, and prints, all of which were tied
together within the collection by an unusually coherent
sense of harmony and aesthetic consistency,
in which each object was in dialog with one another.
The May 14 sale will offer around forty lots
from their collection of African, Oceanic,
Pre-Columbian, and American Indian art,
as well as Classical and Near Eastern antiquities,
all of them consistent for their
beauty and significance. Highlights will
include a Fang-Mvai reliquary guardian
figure attributed to the Master of Ntem,
an Okvik ivory figure, and a renowned
Olmec jade mask fragment, converted
into a celt in antiquity.
A various-owner sale of art from Africa,
Oceania, and the Americas will follow.
The Americas component will feature
both American Indian and Pre-Columbian
art. It will include previously unoffered
material from the Edwin and Cherie
Silver Collection, as well as important
works from European and American collections.
