Tefaf New York 2026: Tiffany window, Egyptian goddess bust, Cecily Brown, and John Kacere on offer

market-auction · 2026-05-13

The 2026 Tefaf New York will showcase a Tiffany Studios leaded window valued at $1.25 million, created around 1915 by Agnes Northrop, the sole independent female designer at Tiffany. This piece, featuring a sunset with birches and irises, was previously owned by Seymour and Evelyn Holtzman and fetched $571,500 at Christie's New York in December 2025; it will be exhibited in a custom lightbox. David Aaron offers a carved greywacke bust of a goddess from Egypt's Twenty-Sixth Dynasty (570-526 BC) for £1.5 million. Rediscovered in 2022 after four decades in private hands, it was initially misidentified as a fake. Additionally, Cecily Brown's 2008 painting Functor Hideaway is priced at $3.9 million, while John Kacere's 1973 work Marianne R is listed at $750,000.
