RAPAPORT... Bonhams has appointed Brett O’Connor as senior international
jewelry director and senior vice president of its US operations, the auction house said
Tuesday.
O’Connor makes the move after 16 years at Sotheby’s Geneva,
where he was one of the lead auctioneers for the company’s major jewelry sales
in Geneva, Hong Kong, London and New York. He was also responsible for global
sourcing of jewelry, and for working with and advising top clients on their
collections.
“[O’Connor] has an excellent track record and is extremely
well-regarded within the industry,” said Bonhams global head of jewelry Jean
Ghika. “I am particularly looking forward to working with him to further build
our presence in the US and Asia, which are some of the most important and
fastest-growing markets for jewelry.”
A 24-year auction-house veteran, O’Connor also worked for
Christie’s and Phillips. He will begin his new position in November, and will
be based in New York.
