Pieces of a celebrated life, for sale on Montague Street
The ‘Great Wall,’ remembered
It’s been over a year since Christopher Wall died (in May 2017), and the furniture, tea cups, paintings and mementos from his celebrated home at 11 Cranberry St. have been on sale all week in a vacant storefront at 150 Montague St.
Chris Wall was a 35-year veteran of the advertising industry. He worked at Ogilvy & Mather for decades, most recently as vice chairman of Ogilvy North America, where he inspired ferocious devotion from his friends and co-workers.
“It’s unbearable that he is no longer with us,” his longtime creative partner and Ogilvy executive creative director Susan Westre wrote in a note after he died at the age of 61, Adweek reported.
