Whitney Robinson and Marc Karimzadeh are feeling a giant lighter today.

The couple last month auctioned off contents of their Latest York City apartment and former East Hampton home at Doyle Auctioneers & Appraisers. Nearly all of the contemporary sculpture, paintings, jewelry and furnishings inside 194 lots were auctioned off.

“Marc and Whitney were incredible partners within the sale,” said Laura Doyle, chief executive officer of Doyle. “They were so engaged in social media and so open to work with us. It helped us tell the story having them telling it, too. We were thrilled with the outcomes and the method. Their collection was a wealthy tapestry reflecting their lives, travels, friendships and careers,” said Doyle, who declined to disclose how much money was raised due to confidentiality agreements.

After 20 years of collecting, Robinson, the previous design editor and real estate developer and global brand consultant, and Karimzadeh, CFDA editorial and communications director, decided to declutter their apartment, decorated by Miles Redd and David Kaihoi, and their former East Hampton residence, which they sold in 2014. A lot of their furnishings and artwork were in storage.

“Each Whitney and I actually have been within the creative business for a really very long time. We’ve traveled so much and we’ve amassed a number of things, and over the course of time, we’ve had 4 homes. We at all times ended up adding to our collections. We felt it was time — quite put them in storage — to produce other people enjoy a number of the beautiful pieces we now have amassed through the years,” said Karimzadeh.

Among the many items sold were a set of 12 Jonas upholstered mahogany gondola chairs for $8,820, a glass waterfall console for $693, a Ralph Lauren Art Deco-style mahogany upholstered sofa and club chair for $2,268, an Armani Cerused oak occasional table for $504, a Lalique Languedoc Black Glass Vase for $1,260, a bunch of Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. glass barware for $1,764 and a bunch of fashion books for $1,071.

On the high end, a brooch by Schlumberger that Tiffany & Co. designed as a glittering gold, blue paillonné enamel, diamond and gem-set camel went for $11,970, while a Russell Crotty American globe sold for $10,080, a world auction record for the artist. One among the one items, a Gio Ponti Walnut Secretaire and Chair estimated between $50,000 and $80,000, went unsold.

Robinson, who has previously been editor in chief of Elle Decor and magnificence director at Town & Country, said, “It’s the blessing and the curse of fashion and collecting. I feel one in all the things of being an editor is you need to give you the chance to support artisans from all over the world. You’ll be able to write about them, as we at all times did, you’ll be able to work with them as I do now with my consultancy…or by buying stuff.”

Robinson said they’ve a few storage units in Greenwich, Connecticut, and in Latest York, and so they could probably fill one other 1,000 lots. “Through the years, we might rotate things out and in…we were really working within the heyday of collecting and traveling and in the peak of magazines,” he said. He said the last apartment they were living in was about 3,500 square feet, “and no corner was spared.” They’ve since moved into one other apartment, and the collecting has began up again.

“We’re unabashedly maximalists,” added Robinson.
