ANNIVERSARIES When Harmers auctioned the first portion of the Dale/ Lichtenstein collections in New York in 1968, the sale was held at the same time as the 50th Anniversary of H.R. H armer Ltd . in London, the parent company. Now, some twenty years later , it is wit h great pleasure that we proclaim the 50th anniversary of H armers of New York and the 10th Anniversary of Harm ers of London , along with the formation of a new H armer Gallery in Swi tzerland. Family-o w ned and managed since 1918, spanning three generations on two sides of the Atlantic, each of our offices celebrates its own ve ry significant birthday and, again in conjunction wi th this important occasion in our history, the selling of the second portion of the collections.
