Vintage Christie's Catalog Doris Duke Collection Auction 3 Volumes 2004 New York

Description: Coming directly from a Newport, Rhode Island home, where Doris Duke maintained her vast Rough Point estate on tony Bellevue Avenue for decades until her death in October 1993. This gorgeous, substantial auction catalogue consists of three volumes housed in a decorative sturdy cardboard case, impeccably designed and printed. Nearly 10 years after her passing, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation decided to pare down her lifelong collections to benefit the Foundation's philanthropic work. In June 2004, Christie's held a three-day gala auction of thousands of Miss Duke's belongings, personally chosen and/or used/worn by her during her lifetime. She was long known as America's richest heiress (having inherited her father's billions when she was just a child), one of the wealthiest women in the world, and an eccentric personality. The auction catalog includes a very large volume titled "The Doris Duke Collection," consisting of myriad objects and categories, with vast color and black-and-white illustrations and historic photographs, and very interesting narrative about Duke's life, in addition to the auction item listings. The second catalog, "Magnificent Jewels from the Doris Duke Collection," is a fantastic visual voyage through her illustrious life and includes hundreds of photos of her wearing many of the items that were auctioned. The third volume is "The Extraordinary Private Cellar of Doris Duke" and highlights her impressive collection of wines and spirits. Looking through these volumes feels like visiting Doris Duke's life and homes for her 80 years of life. The quality of the printing is spectacular, and this three-volume catalogue set is a wonderful keepsake. Very old money vibes- and would make a unique conversation piece for a coffee table or in a home library, as well as a bona fide historical reference. Orchestrated by Christie's, one of the world's premier auction houses. Vintage pre-owned, impeccably clean condition; outer cardboard sleeve has edge wear/tear at top as shown; otherwise, sleeve in fine condition. Three paperback volumes housed inside are PRISTINE and gorgeous, appearing as unread / unused and without any apparent wear, damage, or markings whatsoever.
