Find out the extraordinary story behind this painting's journey, and how one family's history continues to echo through the art world today.
In April 1996, a young Michael Kors stepped into Sotheby’s New York for the very first time. The occasion? The landmark auction of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ estate — a sale that would become an unforgettable convergence of history and legacy. And Kors wasn’t there just to watch — he came to bid. At his first-ever Sotheby’s auction, the future fashion icon set his sights on a silver-plated Dunhill cigarette lighter inscribed to “Jack and Jackie.” The initial estimate? $800 to $1,200.
