Off The Wall - The Clark Family Treasures At Christie's

One of the first American titans of industry, William A. Clark (1839-1925) founded Las Vegas through his railroad ventures and also served as Senator of Montana in the early 1900s. In his lifetime, he amassed an incredible fortune and a trove of treasures that reflect American history during the late 1800s. Here, Life + Times takes a look at Clark's collection on auction at Christie's--acquired from his famously reclusive daughter, Huguette Clark--including artwork from John Singer Sargent, literature from Walt Whitman, and one of the greatest violins ever made.
