Auction house, Profiles in History, held the first of three entertainment auctions today. “The Dreier Collection Auction” consisted of 396 lots which did very well, hammering approximately* $2.4 $2,535,550@ million dollars without the buyers premium or bp included, and close to over $3 million@ with the bp factored in.
I was told the auction room was very crowded with excited bidders. There were quite a few bids live on the bidding floor as well as internet and phone bidding.
