NEW YORK – An exquisite selection of decorative arts items from the estate of legendary entertainment producer and talent manager Sandy Gallin will take center stage at Capo Auction Fine Art and Antiques’ sale on Saturday, Oct. 21.

Gallin, who died in April, helped shape the careers of Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey, Dolly Parton, Cher, Neil Diamond, Whoopi Goldberg and others, while enjoying close friendships with Elizabeth Taylor and moguls David Geffen, Barry Diller and Calvin Klein. In later years, he forged a successful second career buying, interior designing and selling dozens of multimillion-dollar estates, working on homes for show business heavyweights like Jeffrey Katzenberg. His acclaimed personal collection was spread between homes in Los Angeles and the Hamptons, with many pieces now being put on the auction block by his estate.
