Two rectangles. $80 million. 🎨
A Rothko painting might look simple on a screen, but that misses the entire point.
Rothko built his massive canvases with dozens of ultra-thin layers of translucent paint, creating colors that seem to glow and shift from within.

You don't just look at a Rothko.
You experience it.

Antiques and memorabilia often get lumped together — but the difference actually matters 🧐
We broke it down: antiques are valued for their age and craftsmanship, while memorabilia is valued for its connection to a person, event, or moment in history. Some pieces even fall into both categories.
Understanding this distinction can save you from overpaying — or underselling — the next time you buy or sell.

Antique weapons can lose their value fast. ⚔️
With antiques, original condition is everything. Sometimes trying to make an old piece look "better" is exactly what ruins it.
