拍品 243 Property from the Vertical Art Collection, the proceeds to benefit the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation and the University of California San Francisco Thoracic Oncology Lung Cancer Program (Lots 239-250).
This cane handle is one of twelve lots offered from the Vertical Art Collection, formed by an American private collector who chooses to remain anonymous. On November 30th a larger group of works from the same collection will be offered for sale at Christie's New York. These sales reveal but a glimpse of a collection that only became known more broadly in 2008 with the publication of Vertical Art: The Enduring Beauty of Antique Canes and Walking Sticks. The startling tableaux by photographer Umberto Barone depicts canes of semi-precious stones inset with diamonds within a dazzling panorama of canes of diverse periods, styles and materials.
