An update on the widely-publized Nan Kempner auction from the Associated Press:
"A Louise de la Falaise short fur jacket with black satin lining fetched $11,250, the highest price at the auction, while two black leather, two-piece ensembles including a Calvin Klein sweater and Skin jeans, brought the lowest price of the sale at $125."
Kempner's clothing was part of a larger Christie's House Sale. I noticed that lots 19 and 20, two brass canister lamps and a brass and glass circular center table both realized $25, decidedly lower than their estimates, proving that even the high-flying Manhattan auction houses can be a good place to shop for clothes or decorate your apartment.
