    Cappuccino at the cafe
    Natalie S.

    Add this to your list of must do in NYC. It's free to visit Christie's auction house and they're extremely welcoming. They have a free coat check room. Their cafe offers free coffee/tea and biscotti. I had a good cappuccino. We headed upstairs to watch the live auction. Today they were auctioning off wines. We saw two auctioneers, each whitty and fun to watch. It was interesting watching the different bids come in. On each floor there is art and jewelry displayed, which will be auctioned off in the next 3-7 days.

    If you didn't know, it's free to visit Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses. While us normies may not have the riches to spend hundreds of thousands or millions on rare artifacts, we can oggle and fantasize about how the other half live. Rare paintings, Eric Clapton's guitar, Jack Kerouac's original type scroll of On the Road, or an original letter signed by the founders of Apple, including Steve Jobs. These things likely won't find their way to a museum, so this might be your only chance to see these things before they go away into someone's private collection. I was worried I would feel out of place here, but the staff were helpful and I was able to wander and wonder without feeling weird. There is also a cafe and coat check.

    Truth be told I've never walked into Christie's ever before but when I learned that the legendary Sir Elton John was doing an auction of his Georgie home belongings, I just had to pay them a visit to browse around. So going in you'll see a coat check area where they seem to prefer you leave jackets and backpacks there but I stressed my carrying around camera gear so they let me hold onto mine. Right near the coat check was a small counter that served coffee and tea. I did not catch prices but someone mentioned that it was free of charge. If it is that's very nice. You are not permitted to carry such things into the gallery though. While this gallery was focused on the Sir Elton John Collection, the space is quite expansive and its like being in a museum when it all comes down to it. Elton's belongings were on all three floors of the space which was spotless clean and had staff at every turn who were super helpful. Three names came to mind during my adventure with Sloane, Maya and Kate. Each made sure that I knew about some of the more special items in the auction and since I was documenting for the website I maintain I was happy to have such pleasant guidance. There are bathrooms on every level and they are clean as a whistle, I also noticed a couple of water coolers and there is complimentary WiFi to access if you must do some messaging or social media on your journey. The downside was arriving to the Elton gallery on its final day so I would have to make sure I saw as much as possible. Now each auction is specific to the person but Elton's had a lot of stage clothes, paintings, photographs and sculptures. Two of the biggest highlights were his Bentley and a special edition pinball machine. My video is posted on my YouTube and also shared via the link below for those who might like it. Please pardon the shameless plug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24dxKyZ7XVE Overall I hope to get here again for any auction that might resonate with my website audience. I highly recommend that NYC residents and visitors to the city alike pay them a visit. It's free and its impressive. I would advise that one gets there early since they close at 5PM and in the case of the Elton John exhibit, you might end up with a lot to see.

    First time visiting and I was definitely impressed. My favorite piece from Christie's New York is the Property from the collection of Mahinder and Sharad Tak NATVAR BHAVSAR (B. 1934) Aanang, which estimated to be USD 100,000 - USD 150,000! Hopefully one day I'll can afford a collection from here!

    Christie's, we all know they are one of the largest Auction Houses in the world. They sell Van Goghs, Pollocks and antiques at auction. Their gallery is located at 20 Rock and is open to the general public. These pieces for auction are displayed here in New York as well as London for major pieces of art. The Rockefeller location is one of the most impressive places to view art and antiques before you make your bids on auction day. Yesterday I was here to view jewelry from the estate of Huguette Clark. Miss Clark died last year at the age of 109 and may be the last heiress to be associated with The Gilded Age. Even though she was born in 1906, her father was a major player in the growth of this country in the later part of the 19th century. They even named a county after the family name; "Clark County in Las Vegas, Nevada". After her death, Christie's became the Auction House for the jewelry of her estate. The collection on display has not seen the light of day since the 1940's when many of these pieces where place in a safety deposit box. Only after her death, have these pieces been displayed in public. Your looking at 70 years inside a bank vault for some beautiful pieces of Art Deco Jewelry. The heiress life has fascinated me for years and to be able to view some of her personal possessions; well, it intrigued me. I have never been to Christie's, but was impress with the number of experts available to show you her jewelry. About 30 pieces were on display; ranging in pre-auction estimates from $8 million to $1K. After serious consideration I am about to bid on one of these wonderful pieces. Not the 9 caret Pink Diamond or 44 carat Clark Diamond, but the smaller piece "A GROUP OF ROSE GOLD JEWELRY" I saw at $1K to $2K pre-auction estimate. Either way, it was a wonderful afternoon viewing how the other side lives. The jewelry today was outrageously beautiful with some pieces to be with "taste and grace"; others "how could you wear that in public". Christie's is a must visit for any New Yorker and visitor of my great city.

    Little known gem in NYC that not many tourists have on their to-do list. It's an open auction house for the 1% who can afford the fine luxuries in life. However, for the 99% of us, we have the luxury of viewing the fine auction house for free! My favorite art at this gallery included work from Andy Warhol and Wayne Thiebaud. It's fun because everything is for sale, not like in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (not to be skipped, either). Jackson Pollock also had some artwork here too. A lot of famous pieces of art were here, which surprised me, since I figured they'd be in some museum uptown or in Chicago or DC, for instance the Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup cans, Madonna paintings, and Wayne Thiebaud's cake paintings. Pretty awe-inspiring. I'd recommend this gallery for any college student on a budget. Although the Met is free, they make you feel guilty by having recommended donation prices. However, at Christie's, you can just saunter around and not have to feel guilty.

    Very fancy art galore! Super expensive though! Every items starts from 5000 and up.. the jewelries are goregous and unique. They have Hermes bags and other designers clothing. When I went to see the Hermes bags, the lady told me not to touch. They cost 30000 dollars! She said I will give you gloves.. I didn't like this. Its just a bag not gold!

    Huguette Clark Jewelry Collection at Christie's
    Stephanie V.

    I ventured in to Christie's this afternoon to see the display of jewelry from Huguette Clark's personal collection. The items being shown have been locked away in a safety deposit box since the 1940's. I was pleasantly surprised to also be able to view some photos of her and her family as well as her self portrait. While there we visited the Magnificent Jewels gallery and the Jewels For Hope collection. I found the galleries to be well laid out. There was a good amount of traffic throughout the galleries and the staff on hand were on point, friendly and helpful. What I loved the most was I felt like I was in a museum but without any admission.

    I love it !!!! It was very interesting collection!!! there was live music and wonderful musicians , and we had delicious chocolate with Martini!

Everything was beautiful and enchanting. I was also fortunate to join the 2 p.m. guided tour of the library.

The Morgan Library is the setting for the bullet-ridden plot climax, and one of the characters even describes the building's architectural fortitude. I had been wanting to come here for some time, but it took drizzly weather to motivate us to take action. Completed in 1906 as the private library of the banker J.P. Morgan, it's on Madison just a few blocks from the other Gilded Age masterpieces, the New York Public Library and Grand Central Terminal. Presuming we would see the foreboding double doors Coalhouse Walker faced in the show, we were pleasantly surprised by the openness of the glass-enclosed central court designed by Renzo Piano. There's a cafe that takes advantage of the incoming light, but we took a pass on it since we just ate at Grand Brasserie. Instead we took advantage of the glass elevator to take us to the photographic exhibition of Peter Hujar, the late artist who captured New York's bohemian and queer scenes through striking black-and-white portraits (Photo 6). The main event, however, is the historic McKim Building: It was the original private library, and in typical grandeur, features three stories of tiered, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, magnificent fireplaces, ornate ceilings, and a gorgeous Rotunda (Photo 5). Morgan's study is the West Room with walls covered in rich red damask (Photo 4) and a vault dedicated to his most valuable books, manuscripts, and art objects (Photo 8). Admission is $25 for adults.

The art studio is two levels, but apparently, in order to peruse the second level, you have to be "somebody" in this world -- meaning, affluence, influence, ya know....you better have that paper. I don't have that kind of paper, so my humble self stayed on the lower level lol. The selections were unique, some were comical, and simply fun to look at. The pieces are definitely pricey, but it was nice to see the art and dream of a mansion with expensive pieces adoring the walls. I'd say give this place a visit if you need something to do while in the city. 10/10
