Dear Friends & Colleagues, Happy Holidays! I'm pleased to share our winter/spring 2018 auction schedule. This lineup of sales comes on the heels of a big year for Swann, as we celebrated our 75th anniversary, sold a previously unknown photo of Harriet Tubman, set a new auction record for any print by Edward Hopper, and just last week, held our highest-grossing sale of Illustration Art to date. Our upcoming season features: • Highlights from the collection of poster aficionado and dealer Gail Chisholm • Revolutionary & Presidential Americana from the Collection of William Wheeler III • A marquee sale of African-American Fine Art, with works by Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Carrie Mae Weems and Charles White We'll be sending regular updates throughout the season, but please feel free to reach out for more information on anything below.
