To celebrate Women’s History Month Whisky Auctioneer will be hosting the world’s first auction dedicated to women in the whisky industry. The inaugural auction in partnership with OurWhisky Foundation will present 18 unique lots as part of the Demeter Collection, which celebrates both past and present women in whisky.

This weekend, Sotheby’s is set to open Art as Jewelry as Art, a first-of-its-kind online auction and exhibition in New York (September 24–October 4, 2022) featuring jewelry designed by 65 major artists of the 20th century and today. From gilded, birdlike Georges Braque brooches inspired by Greek mythology to Louise Nevelson’s sculptural pendants to a pair of 18-karat gold Salvador Dalí earrings in the form of melting telephones—and dripping with diamonds, emeralds, and rubies—the pieces are at once adornment and art.
