Sometimes an auction has nothing to do with foreclosure. News item from New York Times via Curbed Los Angeles: The Kaufmann House, a 1946 glass, steel and stone landmark built by architect Richard Neutra outside Palm Springs, is on the auction block. The pre-sale estimate: $15 million to $25 million.

The N.Y. Times reports the auction -- to be held at Christie’s in New York next May -- is an effort at ‘promoting architecture as a collectible art worthy of the same consideration as painting and sculpture.’

The owners, Brent Harris, an investment manager at PIMCO, and Beth Edwards Harris, an architectural historian, are finalizing their divorce, the N.Y. Times reports.
