Wright’s partnership with LiveAuctioneers, who will provide the Internet catalog preview and bidding for upcoming auctions, will commence with an Oct. 7 sale of Modern Design.
“The finest in Mid-century and Modern Design at auction reside on LiveAuctioneers.com, bar none,” said LiveAuctioneers’ CEO, Julian R. Ellison. “Wright joins other premier auction galleries who partner with LiveAuctioneers to offer international buyers the opportunity to source, and bid on, the highest-quality antiques, art and collectibles from this era.”
LiveAuctioneers also reported particularly bullish sales during the month of September 2008, in defiant contrast to the current worldwide economic downtrend.

Wright’s Oct. 7 Modern Design sale features select works from legends Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames, Gio Ponti, George Nakashima, George Nelson, and many others; as well as designs from younger stars such as Marc Newson, Tom Dixon, Martin Szekely and Tjep.
