3. Jean-Michel Basquiat "red man has a" 82 г. 135h208 $ 4.6 million - was under the glass and the glare does not get rid of, as well - a good, powerful. Is it worth the money - decide.

The next group of lots at auction Sotheby's Impressionist and art of the twentieth century New York on May 5.

1. Edward Mnuk "Boats in Asgarsdstrand" 1932, 86-112, $ 1.8-2.5 million
What people in mind when they make such difficult names?

2. Alberto Giacometti's "The Cat" in 1951 length 79 cm $ 16-22 million - the amount does not fit in the head. So? What forecasts - will buy? But not difficult to cast more.

He has a record 27 million http://artinvestment.ru/invest/ratin...lptures.html#5 But for a woman. And here - a skinny cat. Hardly buy. But in America may select for the mistreatment of animals:)

7. "At the dawn" 1856, 80x60, for some reason was not price.
8. AE Yakovlev "Samurai" in 1930 156h94, ie $ 85-125

We objected to this, that playing the drums always score the Violin Concerto.

Konstantin, thanks for the photos, all pictures are super .. especially A. Kosolapov, G. Bruskin, Konchalovsky.

like only caudate animal Giacometti ... the truth is still very expensive.
Everything else is just a sigh of regret, not a masterpiece, as the autumn pre-demonstrations, alas, was not, although the people at the reception dark-tmuschaya was ...

Full "suck."

You are not to be confused with Christy? In the autumn pre-demonstrations lots Sotheby's, one Grigoriev what was chic.

"Shepherd" who? "

I wrote correctly. At All pre-fall was a huge number of masterpieces, but here they did not encounter any.

And I really liked Brodsky, a ... quite unusual, and market his work rarely appears. Although the estimate is too harsh - 300-500 thousand.
And amused that the little Aivazovsky threw out of the frame. Is undignified.
A shabby cat Giacometti, along with Basquiat - is somehow too. To my mind.

Tu suggested to me why in the diptych Grigorieva, in the cut scene from the cook different color jackets.

Or maybe just a cook - in cooking, and the client, carefully watching - in anticipation of the most pancakes:)
And the jacket does not have to repaint:)
