Sotheby's Presents: The Wolf Family Collection

Sotheby’s is pleased to present The Wolf Family Collection: The Spirit of America. It is exceptionally rare to encounter a collection that embodies the American spirit in such tremendous depth and breadth; a collection that was clearly assembled not only with great care, but also with a deep curiosity and passion for learning. The Wolf Family Collection is unparalleled in the history of American collecting. Reflective of the collectors themselves-deeply inquisitive, engaging and thought-provoking -The Wolf Family Collection is unique in its expansive snapshot of American art and collecting.

i love it when an exquisite collection like this, a life's work, gets thrown into history's trash can by someone who inherits it. That is the epitome of respect

[@claudiocavaliere856]

Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!

[@mariapilarme]

Beautiful arts and great naration.

Sad to see such a collection dismantled.

Gorgeous collection. So many pieces made by hand. Love it.🥰

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

This is a beautiful display of affection and tribute to all things beautiful and great. Thank you for sharing.♥️🤍💙

[@carolking6355]

What exquisite items.

[@fireworks1650]

Beautiful, especially the Greene and Greene furnitures and I like the fact this family collected the testimonies of america's past. Art is not a decoration, it is an element of people's identity.

Classic Golden collection ✨️ 💛 ❤😊

Beautiful things. I was a friend of Daniel Wolf, so this makes me a little sad.

[@user-vd3lv9fw3c]

Love this. Quality is a lost thing in American craft. People today hate perfection or high quality and ridicule any who appreciate it. It’s stupid how people hate others for having fine taste in arts and crafts.

[@davidb9059]

I want that one and that one . 😊

Очень красиво.Радует, что книги стоят на книжных полках, а не стоят стопками на столах.

[@IMAInteriors]

As a none US citizen, I often hear the term "Americana" and I recognize colors, patterns, and themes... but when I watched this, most period furniture was English-looking. So, Americana = English furniture? can anyone provide me with more information? Thank you!

[@vanitymarks8798]

that's pretty much it...the origins of America from England and other European influences is why the furniture looks the way it does.

[@WiseOnion]

@@vanitymarks8798 it also involves lot of native american arts and crafts.

[@mariapilarme]

Many craftsman came from England and they created their furniture here with American woods but they used old world tradition. It’s the story of new immigrants and their art, painting, furniture etc. The story of what they found in a new world.

What is the name of the song in this video? I love it 💕

Seems to me that the team has a fair bit of work cut out for them.

[@SkyeRangerNick]

What I mean is, it would be lovely to see a longer video of the collection. A very nice sampling, regardless. 🙂

[@didierduplenne2325]

Boldness ? Freedom ? ....looks beautiful but looks the most classical classic possible 🤔😀

[@ChrisLovesThisGame]

There's no way you could get that bracelet on a wolf 🐺. Maybe the necklace... and the furniture is in suspiciously good condition. I have questions

[@henrylivingstone2800]

It’s because they were owned by rich people and rich people don’t use furniture

[@davidcattin7006]

suspiciously good condition - curious what you are suggesting. Thanks.

[@themarquis336]

The absurd, awkward patriotism… 🥴 Completely ridiculous and unbearably cheesy particularly coming from Sotheby’s. From Christie’s you come to expect it, but Sotheby’s? Geesh…

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Welcome to the Globalized Hell where every company/institution has the SAME message/speech and "values". None of these old companies are what they used to be 30 years ago. They are disgustingly "politically correct" and they are re-writing art history.

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

What a ridiculous choice of words to describe what represents the "Spirit of America": Courage and Boldness. You would think the man was talking about military history, not decorative and fine arts. Sorry, I forgot "Freedom", something that most Americans, in their arrogance and ignorance, think is an American invention of which they own the copyright.

[@BabyJesus66]

White people... psshh. 🙄😒

[@themarquis336]

Thank you for saying it. Completely ridiculous. They use the word “freedom” like they have a profound, other-level understanding of it. They boast it but have never even seen it up-close… And the worst part about this video is it comes from a British auction house. You’d think they’d have better taste than this, but they don’t…

[@aalexander928]

There is no soul in this collection. It's about money & some exquisite items placed together in an antiseptic setting. Too perfect - too boring!
