Collection Joop, writes agency Bloomberg, estimated at 18,6 million dollars. It will sell at two sessions of the New York auctions, 5 and 6 May.
Two paintings by de de Lempicka estimated at 4-6 million dollars each: a portrait of the Duchess de La Salle and a portrait of Marjorie Ferry.

Very nice!

but in general "rather Hollywood painting.":)

This de Lempicka - something like recently lauded by Galina Rusanov (and her collectors, respectively), only seems to be flight attendants, she still did not bite:)

Yes, the same stylish as the best works in Hollywood.:)

likely it is simply "popiarila" himself, "spin" (and what to do and would soon be forgotten!):)

Propiarila, propiarila, but ill bitten by some goat flu, and our young lady without a shirt will last )))))

And she had no one to help. Look at Lempicka found a fan and whistled before tendering the work of the museum, propiaril.:) http://artinvestment.ru/news/artnews..._lempicka.html

Agree. And yet there is something from painting of the Third Reich ...

Well, this is more general aesthetics of painting the late 20's - early 30's., Especially in Germany - for example, the direction of "New Objectivity", but not exclusively. Many of these artists are not completely cooperated and were then in exile.

This work Redershaydta (incidentally, these works have disappeared and is now being sought). However, I have on hand is only still-lifes, but it is interesting to compare with the colors in the portrait Lempicka, similarity, in my opinion, obviously.
