A packed saleroom at Christie’s in London sees record prices paid for treasures from the ancient world, including a bronze dagger, an Etruscan mirror and a lion’s head carved from granite. In New York, Bonham’s are dealing in American art and there are, relatively speaking, bargains to be had. But will paintings by Marsden Hartley and Thomas Moran tempt the bidders?
