How long did the Cheval Blanc auction last?

I would say that for my part it lasted about 2 hours. I was doing my bids for half of 287 lots of Cheval Blanc. The other half was done by Claire Collini, about a hundred lots.

Actually two hours is a long time for such number of lots. We had sales when I was doing such a quantity for a mere hour. But this time there were mostly individual items: this is why it took so long.

What is the order of lots offered during the auction? It depends on the collection, for example in that sale we put the Cheval Blanc collection first. We can also alter the time the auction starts if we think that the lots would be more appealing to the American market.

In this case we will put it in the afternoon. Within the Cheval Blanc collection we put everything more or less in the vintage order. But in this collection we had some very interesting outstanding lots, 2-3 bottles or 30 bottles vertical and we would put it to the end of the section.

Within the Cheval Blanc we ordered them by vintage and bottle ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
