Few postwar artists blurred the boundaries between media as radically, or as playfully, as Dieter Roth. Born in 1930 in Hanover, Germany, and later working between Iceland, Switzerland, and Germany, Roth built a practice that defied categorization. Associated with the Fluxus movement but never confined by it, he worked across printmaking, sculpture, artist’s books, drawing, collage, and even edible materials like chocolate and cheese. Roth’s art is at once irreverent and deeply intellectual. He embraced process, decay, repetition, and chance, often allowing materials to deteriorate as part of the work itself. Yet alongside his more conceptual and sculptural experiments, works on paper remained central to his practice. These intimate compositions, layered, gestural, and richly textured, offer collectors a direct encounter with his restless, ...Read More

In the pantheon of late 20th-century style, few figures remain as enduring, or as studied, as Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. At a moment when fashion was often defined by excess, she distilled her wardrobe to its most essential elements: impeccable tailoring, a disciplined neutral palette, and silhouettes that felt at once modern and timeless. Her aesthetic, quiet, deliberate, and unmistakably New York, helped define 1990s minimalism and continues to influence designers, stylists, and collectors today. That legacy now takes center stage in Exceptional Fashion: including items from the wardrobe of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, presented by The Fashion Auctioneer. The sale represents the most comprehensive collection assembled to date dedicated to her iconic style. At its core are four historically significant pieces from Carolyn’s personal wardrobe, ...Read More

Paper dolls are one of those objects that feel instantly familiar. Almost everyone remembers cutting carefully around tiny ankles, trying not to lose a single tab, and arranging outfits just so. But behind that childhood nostalgia is a surprisingly rich history; one that stretches across centuries, countries, and cultural shifts. The earliest paper dolls appeared in Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, long before they were considered toys. At the time, fashion plates were the primary way styles circulated beyond royal courts and elite salons. Paper dolls grew out of this tradition, offering an interactive way to engage with current dress. Many early examples were sold uncut and hand-colored, intended for careful assembly at home. They weren’t meant to be disposable; they were meant to be studied, admired, and preserved. In Eng...Read More
