Why so few paintings .. poor sort of .. or they leave all sweet for the summer? or things become less and less ...

A Sotheby's with all these cigarette cases and ashtrays (for sale I do not remember what the collection of the royal family, one of the officers exclaimed: "Lord, they have that whole day just smoking?") :)

I wrote about the same from Maastricht: new things on the market there is very little. In principle, it is understandable: the rich people in the world is growing, even in a crisis, the number of millionaires is growing, but the quality of work, time-tested, no longer is, so prices rise at a decent job, despite the crisis. But auctions are declared, they can not cancel, that's selling all nonsense.
