NEW YORK---It is a rare season indeed when two major auction houses show not only resplendent offerings of Judaica, but also multiple examples of highly unusual and rare Jewish-themed fine art. That is indeed the case now both at Sotheby’s December 19th auction and the Bonhams recent December 10th auction. t should be noted that both the Bonhams and Sotheby’s excellent catalogues are available online accompanied by truly illuminating scholarly notes.
