"Sale" as part of the party display name about elysa HOT 4 CLOSED

tentatively implemented this—it's more a style question here.

@BergFulton — do you have an optionion on this?

We can double check with Costas/Lulu here, but when I see things like "Kirkwood Sale, Christie's NY", it feels to me like this was a major auction of this person's artwork, either as a liquidation of their estate or a sale for another somewhat major reason. These sales are often events on their own.

If an owner is just sick of looking at that hideous painting, they may only consign that one to Christie's, and Christie's sells it in a themed sale, usually things like "Important Early American Pictures" or some such.

As it stands right now, if the record reflects ""Kirkwood Sale, Christies, NYC" I'm changing that to Christie's as the party, NYC as location, and footnoting that this is the Kirkwood sale.

I think it could go both ways, really. The sale wouldn't happen without Kirkwood, but Christie's is the party selling it and in custody of the object.

In practice, this has not shown to be useful. Remove it.
