These lots have been imported from outside the EU … 显示更多 PROPERTY OF A PRIVATE AMERICAN COLLECTOR (LOTS 630-633 INCLUSIVE) Christie’s are delighted to offer the collection of Barbara Goldsmith who acquired these works of art in 1951 in Japan. Her son recalls his mother’s time there: “In 1949, armed with a degree in Fine Arts from Hunter College and a love of Chinese art, Barbara Goldsmith joined the U.S. Army Special Services after seeing a post on a bulletin board for a Recreation Director… in Japan. She remained there until 1951 running Army Service Club no. 81, traveling, and doing what she dreamed of doing when she first signed up: collecting a wide assortment of Asian art. She later returned to the US, married and raised a son in a house lovingly adorned with her Chinese treasures, and continued a lifelong civil service career. At 87, she has decided to sell portions of her collection as she moves into the next chapter of her life with grace, dignity, and the memories of her time in Asia.
