Widely respected Connecticut collector Mickey Cartin will offer selections from his collection, begun in 1988, at Christie’s. Upward of 80 objects, estimated to fetch as much as $8 million, will be spread over more than 10 auctions in London, Paris, and New York, from this November until July 2027.

In 1971, Cartin began working at Connecticut’s Capitol Light and Supply Company, which had been started by his grandfather in 1918. He ultimately became the company’s president and grew it from a staff of a dozen to a national enterprise employing hundreds. His collection hung in his homes in the Constitution State; Delray Beach, Florida; and a 5,800-square-foot Greenwich Village apartment that is currently on the market for $10 million. Now 78, Cartin ranked on the ARTnews Top 200 Collectors list from 2007 to 2013.
