Bluewater Insurance

Christie's is opening a wine and spirits boutique at its Rockefeller Center headquarters, its most direct move yet into the fine wine collector market. The shop will showcase the wines its specialists love most, with a focus on connecting collectors to the world of fine wine, collecting, and Christie's itself.

The move comes as the broader fine wine market reaches its strongest point in nearly two decades. Christie's wine business, once the largest in the world, currently trails Acker, Sotheby's, and Zachy's in global revenue, making this less an expansion than a recalibration. A flagship presence, in a flagship location, built for a category the house intends to lead again.

For collectors, the signal is clear: when the world's most storied auction house plants a flag this deliberately, attention follows. And where attention goes, value tends to as well.

Some collections are assembled. This one was lived.

The Stream Family Collection, shaped over decades by two visionary women with close ties to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, comes to auction for the first time. World-class Fabergé. Exceptional jewels by Cartier and Tiffany & Co. Works by Degas, Rivera, and Bouguereau. A legacy of connoisseurship, unseen for generations.

Objects like these carry more than value. They carry history, vision, and the rare proof that beauty endures.

At Bluewater Insurance, we protect collections that tell stories like this one.

Some icons transcend time. Marilyn Monroe is one of them.

This June, Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies present 100 Years of Marilyn, a landmark sale devoted entirely to her life, career, and enduring legacy. Personal wardrobe. Private files. Rare photography. Items never before seen by the public. A gold-tone evening bag still holding her lipstick, compact, and two dimes from the early 1940s.

These are not just objects. They are moments. History made tangible.

At Bluewater Insurance, we understand that what you collect is never just a thing. It is a story. A pursuit. A piece of the world worth protecting.

If you are bidding, collecting, or simply captivated, we are here for the journey.

From the Old Garden No. 1 by Georgia O'Keeffe arrives at the 20th Century Evening Sale at Christie's on May 18, 2026, a flower painting of exceptional rarity, as works of this nature seldom leave the hands of institutions or long-held private collections. When such a piece emerges, it is not simply offered; it is revealed, an enduring symbol of cultural significance and refined value.

At Bluewater Insurance, we understand that rarity of this caliber demands protection.

A legacy returns to the spotlight.

Played by Elvis Presley during the iconic 1968 Comeback Special, this cherry-red Hagstrom is more than an instrument, it is a defining symbol of revival, influence, and cultural permanence. As it steps onto the auction stage, it carries not only history, but undeniable value.

At Bluewater Insurance, we understand that pieces of this caliber require more than admiration, they require protection.
