Happy Tuesday everyone!
I’m a big admirer of Iris Apfel, the American Businesswoman and interior designer.
This Queens native was known for her bold style, chunky bangles, and oversized sunglasses. Although she sadly passed away last year, Christie’s in Midtown NYC will present “Unapologetically Iris: The Collection of Iris Apfel” starting this Saturday, February 8th through February 12th. The exhibition will feature over 200 items of fashion, accessories, and design from Ms. Apfel’s personal collection. While the online auction is open for bidding, you can also view the items in person at 20 Rockefeller Center.
The sale offers decorative art pieces and items from Apfel’s homes in Palm Beach and New York, including a carved “Gussy” ostrich-form bar from Italy, circa 1975, estimated to go for $6,000-8,000.
These are my personal favorites from her collection:
– Venetian pale pink glass coupes & stands
– Sunglasses
– Lime green figure of Iris riding a scooter – already at $2,400!!
Enjoy the day and happy shopping! – KK
