J. Garrett Auctioneers had the pleasure of presenting Pickens' collection of 18th and 19th Century antiques, as well as the furnishings, accessories and art from his Preston Hollow Dallas residence and Texas Panhandle ranch, Mesa Vista.
The breadth of T. Boone Pickens' career is impressive. He built one of the largest independent natural gas oil companies in the United States and flourished as an entrepreneur thereafter, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in the process. Among his lengthy accolades, Time magazine has identified him one of its "100 Most Influential People", Financial World named him "CEO of the Decade" in 1989, and Oil and Gas Investor identified him as one of the "100 Most Influential People of the Petroleum Century."
