When Barry Friedman, the Manhattan based art dealer decided to retire, a diversity of works, drawn from his homes and from his stock, were presented at Christie’s under the banner ‘The Eclectic Eye’. A preview of the items took place on April 24 which has been arranged as a series of four sales that will provide a review of the many spheres in which he has made his mark.
Symbolist art, early-and mid-20th century Venetian glass, photo-based conceptual art, sculptural works by contemporary glassmakers, Art Nouveau and Art Deco objects, and furniture including a large selection of art chairs by the most innovative creators of recent years, were some of the items of this dispersal.
