RARE! 2 Sotheby's Tickets to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Auction Exhibition 1996

Description

Wow !  2 tickets from 1996 to attend the exhibition of Jackie Kennedy's art and jewels and furniture before they were auctioned off at Sotheby's.  Tickets are 6 3/8 inches long.
In 1996, as Sotheby's exhibited property owned by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, thousands gathered outside to view it.
Article from 1996: "The auction fever of the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis estate sale ended Friday with frenzied Camelot souvenir hunters ringing up ,457,470 during four days on Sotheby’s cash registers, over seven times the original estimate of .6 million.
Last to go out the door was Onassis’ 1992 BMW 325i sedan, with 10,032 miles on its odometer, selling for ,500. The item before that--an oak rocking chair used by President John F. Kennedy in the second floor oval room at the White House--was purchased for 3,500 by Carol Bayer Sager, the Grammy Award-winning lyricist, Sotheby’s said.
Her bid topped the price of another oak presidential rocking chair, which sold for 2,500 the first night of auction.  As the auction wound down Friday, even photographs of portraits of Onassis and her children went for tens of thousands of dollars.
“The success of this auction does not belong to Sotheby’s,” said Diana D. Brooks, the president of the auction house, who spoke with tears in her eyes. “It belongs to Mrs. Onassis. It is her grace and style, her dignity, her courage that are behind the results this past week.”
