...gold ballroom, where nine rock crystal chandeliers festooned with crystal drops glittered over their heads. British Broadcasting Corp. had decided that the proceedings merited a national hearing. Art-lovers listening in heard the voice of a commentator but little else, because bids were indicated by a flick of an eyebrow or pencil, and also because the announcer was enclosed in a soundproof booth. At the end of three days, the sale's returns stood...
