The museum had planned to put 190 pieces on the block at Sotheby’s in London Tuesday and to auction off more than 60 antique watches and timepieces later this week. The rare pieces are expected to fetch several million dollars
One of the aims of the show ‘Uninvited Guests,’ curator Carlos Navarro said, is to put the spotlight on state propaganda regarding the female figure, evident between 1833 and 1931.
