The successful hotelier and art collector who became a dealer in 20th-century American art, Bernard Goldberg, 77, is exiting the business. His New York gallery's inventory of 175 artworks and furnishings, estimated at up to $10 million, will head to Christie's to be auctioned in several upcoming sales. He says the closure is age-induced as opposed to recession-forced.

Among his favorite artworks to be sold is a 1935-1936 oil by Marsden Hartley titled “Roses for Seagulls that Lost Their Way,” estimated at $300,000 to $500,000. Great examples of Ashcan School to modernism will be offered, including works by Edward Steichen and Jacques Lipchitz.
