At Tenenbaum, Vendome Press managing director Beatrice Vincenzini, TEXAS DESIGN WEEK HOUSTON AND PAPERCITY DESIGN AWARDS NEW DATES BID FOR STYLE N ot every auction held at Christie's New York would inspire Nancy Marcus, Mercedes Bass, and Lynn Wyatt to open their homes for private dinners celebrating the event — or bring Lord Snowdon over from London to attend such dinners. But then, this isn't just another auction. On Wednesday, June 10, Christie's offers The Private Collection of Jayne Wrightsman, renowned collector and arts patron, and the wife of Charles Bierer Wrightsman, an oil executive who was in the oil business in Texas. Wrightsman became an expert in 18th-century French decorative arts and European painting and donated a great deal of her collection to The Metropolitan Museum of Art before her death last year. "She didn't want her collections sitting in storage — she wanted them to be on view," says Capera Ryan, deputy chairman at Christie's. "And if they couldn't be on view, then they should be sold." One of the must-see lots is Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' Odalisque (estimate $700,000 to $1 million), a smaller version of Ingres' Grand Odalisque. Other treasures include XVI ormolu-mounted porphyry urn and cover ($200,000 to $300,000). The collection is on view in New York beginning June 4. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to recipients including The Met and The Morgan Library & Museum. christies.com.
