A few years ago when I was living in Chicago, I attended a Wright auction. Wright is located in an nondescript warehouse, just southwest of the loop. I’m sure I stuck out like a sore thumb in the relatively small crowd but I enjoyed the auction nonetheless. It was pretty thrilling to see so many great modern pieces in person as well as to see the frenzy of the auction.
If you’re in the Chicago area, I would highly recommend attending one. Lucky for you, there’s a modern design auction tomorrow, October 7th. It’s kind of like seeing a museum show before everything makes it to the museum. Also, some pieces may never see the light of day again as they end up in private collections around the country. Also, you never know, you could find a deal.
