Swann Galleries Inc.Swann, a New York City auction house founded in 1941, has a clubhouse social hall worth of prized golf art on the block. Initially he focused on antique hickory golf clubs before discovering a passion for original golf art in the 1990s that would lead him on a three-decade cross continent acquisition spree. “I found it especially rewarding to find an illustration that I was able to tie back to the original publication. The poor husband is dismayed, and he even broke his club during the round of golf,” says McDonough. Aside from the McDonough collection of golf illustrations which is the featured attraction of the livestreamed auction, the sale also includes sections dedicated to original children’s book art, performing arts and fashion, and magazine illustrations.
