San Francisco, 11 September 2012
On 10 September 2012, Bonhams organised its third auction of the year entitled ”Art and Artefacts of the Americas”, in San Francisco. The majority of works were coming from the Robert “Trader Bob” Bayuk Collection and from the Nancy Sue and Judson C. Ball Collection. These were representing Native American art and, more precisely, basketries from the west of California.
Best sales were achieved on a Sioux shirt trimmed with pearls (sold for 8.437 $), a Mayan figurine (sold for $6.250), a Zuni jar ($5.625) and a series of eighteen masques from Guatemala (sold for $4,750).
