On the high end, there’s a Picasso plate with a current bid of $13,000.
What they’re saying: According to Potomack Company owner Elizabeth Wainstein, the auction includes items across varying price points. Last year, Ginsburg’s family gifted the opera her personal piano.Zambello considered Ginsburg part of the company. The late justice was a notable fan of the opera and attended every opening night, sitting at an aisle seat close to the stage and usually accompanied by a colleague - most often Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan.All proceeds will benefit the Washington National Opera.Īfter her death in September 2020, Ginsburg’s family contacted the opera about auctioning some of her personal items, says opera director Francesca Zambello. What's happening: The Potomack Company opened catalogs earlier this month of more than 150 items the late justice kept in her Watergate apartment and court chambers. Works by Picasso, a mink coat, artwork of herself, and a drawing by her grandson are all part of a collection of items once owned by late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and being auctioned by an Alexandria auction house.
