Emily and Jerry Spiegel

  • ... that after Emily and Jerry Spiegel's deaths in 2009, their daughters held rival art auctions in May 2017? Source: " In the art world, auction houses Sotheby’s and Christie’s are like squabbling siblings—more alike than different, yet always trying to one-up each other.
    Next week in New York, the two rivals are vying to sell separate collections of contemporary art from two actual siblings—at virtually the same time. Perhaps fittingly in the circumstances, the two sisters aren’t on speaking terms.
    The competition involves the grown daughters of the late Jerry Spiegel, a onetime Long Island farmer turned real-estate mogul, and his wife, Emily. The couple had a lucrative avocation: finding young artists destined for greatness. They amassed early works from future superstars such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel and Jeff Koons.

  • Will review. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:59, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
    • Preemptively going to say that this was nominated soon enough for government work. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:02, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
      • This still requires a QPQ. Otherwise, some very minor things needed tidying: one sentence had partial unattributed plagiarism due to lack of quotation marks and used the wrong "there". Other than that, Earwig returned a low score with most of the overlap coming from lists of names, so that's a non-issue. The image in the article is used fairly (but cropped somewhat haphazardly; not an issue for this review). The text is neutral, long enough, and referenced. Hook is interesting and referenced appropriately in the article. Overall, the QPQ notwithstanding, I'm ready to approve. Nice work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:13, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
      • A ping to Edwardx, with a reminder that a QPQ needs to be submitted within a week of nomination. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:50, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
* Great work! Sorry for the wait, Edwardx, please let me know if I can make it up to you. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:37, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you, Pbritti. No problem with any delay - there is no urgency for this to appear on the main page. Edwardx (talk) 17:45, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
