Online Auction: October 17–31, 2024

Lark Mason Associates is pleased to offer the Estate of James Greenfield, a distinguished editor, journalist, statesman, and avid world collector on iGavelAuctions.com. Greenfield, known for his urbane and well-traveled lifestyle, began his illustrious and multi-faceted career as a foreign correspondent for Time magazine, covering the Korean War in the 1950’s. His assignments led him to live in Hong Kong, India, Vietnam and Myanmar, sparking a lifelong fascination with Asia and its diverse cultures.

During his extensive travels across Asia, Greenfield forged close relationships with antique dealers in Hanoi’s back alleys, Hong Kong’s Hollywood Road, the sprawling markets of Bangkok, and Cambodian’s flea markets. Collecting became a lifelong passion, a pursuit that paralleled his career in journalism and public service, which included a pivotal role in the Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson Administrations as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs.

Greenfield’s love of art and antiques soon let to a diverse collection of Chinese ceramics, Southeast Asian bronzes, European bronze sculptures, and scientific instruments, many of which are available in this sale.
