I was recently interviewed by Ohio-based interior design maven Lisa M. Smith, principal of the studio Interior Design Factory and founder of the Décor Girl blog, to discuss some tips for buying at auction.
As a former insider with the international auction house of Christie’s and my current practice as an interior designer and art advisor, I know a few things you definitely need to know prior to buying at auction. Here is my conversation with Lisa. Hope it’s helpful!
