Bidding for Contemporary Art at Sotheby's
 

Excellent results - from 27 lots and not sold, only one, many lots were sold well above the top of the provisional assessment.

Personally I am interested in the 2 works that would like to buy 2 of my friends (I hope that they will not be offended that I call them so). This proved impossible, but I'm not even very upset, as Director of the Geneva Branch of the Sotheby's virtually no instructions, ask your client, who was on the phone - obviously, was to see if bought for any money.

Some prices ( "the hammer", without commission):

Collage Steel 1954 56000 euros (35000-45000)
Doig 95000 (70000-90000)
Roy Lichtenstein Warhol 85000 (30000-40000)
Koons 400000 (300000-400000)
Dubuffet 520000 (200000-300000)
Steel 1949 270000 (180000-250000)
Soulages 600000 (300000-400000)
Calder, 170000 (120000-180000)
Steel 1954 320000 (300000-400000)

Well, and so on, you will see on their website :)

Results certainly a match for the works. A directory of Sotibis even for a short interval of time was not available, exceeding the critical number of requests for both!

And yet, my child comes to school, saw the composition de Stael 1949, and so looked at the PC that does not tear it, here it is the power of art, painted by the artist Our Lady of mercy.

Gunter Uecher and Kazuo Shiraga in such company, and with such results is impressive.

LCR,
A painting of de Staël in 1954 cheap sell - seems almost postartu.
As Lena says - depends on the weather. Apparently, the weather was favorable for the purchase ...

Yes, I am convinced that I had to take her. But there will be other opportunity, you need only to be vigilant :)
