Joshua Holdeman ’93, international director of 20th-century art for Christie’s auction house, is all ears (and phones) as he talks to clients during bidding. Holdeman and his team oversaw the sale Icons of Glamour and Style: The Constantiner Collection, on Dec. 16–17, 2008, which achieved a record total — more than $7 million — for a single-owner Christie’s sale dedicated to photographs. See the photo essay by Phyllis Graber Jensen.
