Overview

Auction Results: Sotheby’s Americana Week 2018 achieved $13.9 million with nearly 1,000 lots sold across two auctions. The week kicked off with the sale of Important Printed and Manuscript Americana, including Cartography, which was led by The Declaration of Independence printed by E. Russell that sold for $1.2 million. The Important Americana sale achieved $9.6 million and saw strong results across a diverse group of works, including American furniture, silver, and ceramics.  
If you are interested in selling a work through Sotheby’s, please visit our auction estimate platform.

Auction Details: Following the tremendous success of our January 2017 sale of Alexander Hamilton: An Important Family Archive of Letters & Manuscripts, the Books and Manuscripts Department is again joining our colleagues in participating in Americana Week. The sale is particularly strong in significant color-plate books and views, atlases, and maps—including an important private collection of maps of the American West.
