For those of us who are impatiently hanging around the landing pages of the auction houses, waiting for the upcoming New York sales to be uploaded online, Christie's New York have already published quite a few interesting single owner sales for the 2026 Winter season.

The sales of Irene Roosevelt Aitken, which split the pictures between English and French sales, feature some rather fine examples from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries (including this shimmering Lawrence pictured above).

Equally, the two sales dedicated to A Life of Discerning Passions: The Collection of H. Rodes Sr. and Patricia Hart feature some rather choice works on paper, including those by Turner, Rubens and Claude, alongside some highlights from the decorative arts.
