NEW YORK, NY.- On March 24, Christie’s New York presents Magnificent Qing Monochrome and Earlier Works of Art from the Gordon Collection, a single-owner sale highlighted by a group of magnificent imperial monochrome-glazed porcelains from the Qing dynasty. The sale will feature 98 exceptional lots ranging from archaic bronze vessels to modern Chinese paintings, and is expected to realize in excess of $6 million. The Gordons began collecting in the early 1970s, when relatively little Chinese art was available in America. Joining a circle of American collectors that included Arthur M. Sackler and Paul Singer, the Gordons bought mainly at auction or from premier dealers such as Frank Caro (successor to C.T. Loo) in New York and the firms of Eskenazi Ltd., S. Marchant and Son, Bluett & Sons Ltd. and John Sparks Ltd. in London. The Gordons’ collection
