at the auction house’s headquarters in New York City
On Tuesday, December 4, 2012, American Friends of the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem hosted a reception and private viewing of the Christie’s Antiquity Preview at the auction house’s headquarters in New York City. After being welcomed by Director of the BLMJ, Amanda Weiss, guests enjoyed light fare and wine and were treated to an informative and engaging tour led by G. Max Bernheimer, the Senior Vice President and International Head of Antiquities for Christie’s. The galleries were stunning, filled with superb ancient sculptures, bronzes, marbles, pottery, and rare jewelry from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and the Near East. These wonderfully curated gallery spaces were an ideal backdrop for this American Friends event, where patrons and their guests enjoyed antiquities from the Bible Lands in a unique New York setting.
