Reflecting the spirit of cross-cultural exchange between America, China, and Europe across the centuries, the Cross-Currents in America auction includes Chinese and Chinese export ceramics, alongside European and European subject matter paintings, sculpture, and French 20th century design. The Wolf Family Collection of Chinese ceramics is one of the most important collections of its type ever assembled in North America, and includes a remarkable group of blue and white porcelain, large famille-verte vases and chargers, some hailing from the collections of J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller, and a comprehensive collection of armorial and European subject wares.
