While I was doing research for my blog entry, I came across a few news stories about a huge collection, the Alfred Taubman Collection, being sold off in lots by Sotheby's over the next few months. The first two auctions made just over $400 million, which is less than they expected. Given our conversation earlier in the semester, I thought this story would interest y'all.
