The Baum Collection Has Chosen Its Auction House

Sotheby's has secured the sale of the collection built by Ted and Ruth Baum, a consignment reported to carry a figure of $100 million. A consignment at that level is the sort of prize auction houses pursue hardest, and the kind that can anchor a selling season on its own. What the Baums collected, where the works will be offered and when they will reach the block have not yet been announced. For now the fact that matters is the pairing itself: a collection of that size has found its auctioneer, and the details will follow.
