A rare collecting opportunity, almost 180 lots from Doris Duke's Southeast Asian Art Collection will be offered for bid during Saturday's Asian Session, including 18th & 19th Century furniture, decorative art and Buddhist sculpture from Thailand, Burma and Cambodia. Saturday's auction will conclude with 50 lots of author-signed books, limited editions and antiquarian leather bindings from the Main Residence library.
