"You're dealing with the same family. I think that there's a lot of comfort in that," said Patrick Abell, Vice President of Abell Auction Company. "We're going in estates and it could be an ex-president, a judge, or a celebrity. You can find a thousand-year-old antiquity. Or you can find contemporary art from Warhol, Keith Haring, or an original Mickey Mouse doll signed by Walt Disney."
"At the auction houses, it's like a free museum out in the world," said Hollywood historian Marc Wanamaker. "Even though I might not buy anything, just looking at all the stuff, it is an event to come to one of these places."
