The Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright
This May, Freeman’s | Hindman presents the esteemed private collection of the late former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright across a sequence of live and online sales.
Featuring a range of personal property, from her distinctive pins to the beautiful fine and decorative arts that populated her Georgetown home and her offices, the Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright shines a spotlight on the collecting sensibilities of this deeply influential national and international icon.
Currently, there is not much information regarding which pieces will be up for auction, but here is a nice article in Town & Country with a little background information on who Albright was and her diplomacy. Her pins have strong political provenance as she would use them as a projection of her diplomatic position.
