Sotheby's will hold an auction of fine and decorative arts from the home of President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy in Hyannis Port and other family homes in Martha's Vineyard, New Jersey, New York City and Virginia. The auction, which will include more than 600 lots, will take place in Sotheby's New York galleries from February 15-17, 2005, with the pre-sale exhibition opening on Wednesday, February 9th and extending through 1:00 PM on February 14th. An illustrated catalogue will feature never before seen interior photographs of the Kennedy homes as well as seldom seen candid images of the Kennedy family. The auction is expected to bring in excess of $1 million.

The property is consigned by Caroline Kennedy, who in her introduction to the catalogue, wrote: "After my mother died in 1994, my brother and I were faced with the task of deciding what to do with her possessions, and after careful consideration, we sold some of them in 1996. In the intervening years, and the death of my brother, I found myself again with more houses and belongings than I could possibly use or enjoy. As we did before, I have given anything of historical significance to the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation which will make it accessible to scholars and to the public, and I have kept those things that mean the most to me and to my children." A portion of the proceeds from the auction and the sale of the catalogue will go to The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation and other charities.
