This December, Sotheby’s New York presents Swinging on a Star: The Private Collection of Kathryn and Bing Crosby — a landmark auction offering a rare, intimate glimpse into the lives, loves, and legacies of two Hollywood icons who helped define the Golden Age of American entertainment.
Drawn from the Crosby family’s private holdings, the collection reveals an extraordinary world amassed over decades — from fine art and collectibles to rare Fabergé works and personal objects that trace the couple’s life together through music, travel, and enduring style. Each piece tells part of a story both glamorous and deeply human.
Featuring Harry and Mary Crosby, children of Bing and Kathryn, reflecting on their family’s influence on art, culture, and cinema, the sale captures the enduring spirit of their partnership — a true Hollywood love story told through the art and objects they treasured most.
Join us at the Breuer Building on Madison Avenue for Swinging on a Star: The Private Collection of Kathryn & Bing Crosby, offered live on 18 December. Session 1 begins at 10:00 AM EST and Session 2 follows at 1:00 PM EST. The full exhibition will be on public view 13–17 December, open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.
