Life After Connecticut College

After close to six months of working at Christie’s, I have successfully survived my first high season after the two-week bonanza that is the Impressionist & Modern art and Post-War/Contemporary art sales. The past several weeks have been a whirlwind of late nights at work followed by parties and the eventual needing to wake up and return to work in the morning to start the process all over again. Multitudes of records were broken in a span of two weeks with the combined results of both sales at $937,463,050, an industry record for the two series of sales and rebutting any rumors that the art market is crashing. These sales were also in the midst of my birthday, which was celebrated grandly after the Post-War sale. The ending of the sales couldn’t get any better than with the appearance of Welcome to Florida, the 2nd most superior band in the world next to Toto, on November 17th at the Knitting Factory in downtown. I’m looking forward to a long weekend off for Thanksgiving, in which I will see my family and attending not only a Bruins game but the Eagles vs Patriots game… in which we all know the Eagles will dominate! Hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving and Fly Eagles Fly!
