And what we are about western bidding would not talk?
 

Lord forum users, I suggest that aside from the Ukrainian artists, but then soon this forum will have to endure the Ukrainian domain.

Let's see what happens in the world. We have not discussed how trades were "Impressionism and Modern art" at Christies, and there, among other things, for 20,8 million dollars Kh Gris sold. Nothing so for the crisis, eh? Incidentally, this is a new record for him.

Men Giacometti sold for 11 million below estimate, though, but still, in my opinion, ooooochen much.

About Kandinsky already written in my opinion, nevertheless recall - 16.8 million! For fairly weak work is extremely successful. How, then, should "Fugue" cost??

Picasso sold for 18 million ... That is not surprising, too beautiful work.

More results: http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/s...d & pg = 1

Auction Results: Many lots have not sold, but bought up the best things. This is what we are here with you always say: even in a crisis the best things quite a bit to settle at stiomosti and still in demand.

Incidentally Day Sale on the trail. day went well - reason to tear their hair out, screaming: "KRIIIIZIIIIS !!!!", - no. They sold most things, not with 10-fold excess of estimate:, but sold the same. So not all that bad. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe these results should be carefully considered ... they show the state and mood of the art market.

Will be reviewed on the site.

but on the forum we have not discussed))) is because of interesting auction Ukrainian artists (do not want to offend anybody, this is my opinion)

and general news we have had:

The most important success of the auction was a masterpiece of Juan Gris (Juan Gris) «The book, glasses and tube", sold for 20.8 million dollars in Estimé 12,5-18,5 million. He bought a New York dealer Franck Giraud (Franck Giraud). The crisis of crisis, and paintings like this work Gris, appear at auction is very rare. For now fought several buyers. "This shows that the market is smart, - says Giraud - [despite the crisis. - Ed.] Rare things they want to buy many. And if the thing is not unique, then you can wait until it becomes cheaper. Cloth Book, glasses and tube "became the most expensive works of art ever sold at public auction.

Other sverhdorogie painting, "Study for Improvisation number 3" Wassily Kandinsky and Two Figures (Marie-Thérèse and her sister, reading) were sold at quite a decent sum of: the first - to 16,8 million (estimate 15-20 million), second - for 18 million (estimate 18-25 million). But "Three-reaching rights I» Giacometti brought the total 11 million, although it was expected that they will go for 14-18 million. While this is good too: after all, they could not buy.

"Obviously, the prices have changed, - said auctioneer Christopher Berj (Christopher Burge). - We must be very stupid to not notice this.

somehow happened that most of the news and then we are discussing here, but such an important event missed, so I corrected the mistake ...

Thank you, and it was very stuffy.
And what of unsold raised eyebrows or all right? However, I can not see the actual decline in prices for good works, nor even the appearance of a large number of these works for sale.
Although it seemed to me at the auction in late November, Sotheby's estimate had been tweaking, or not?

I was personally most Gris sale and Kandinsky surprise ... And, if Gris is one of the best, and perhaps the best work of art, Kandinsky was a frankly feeble and small in size ... I think a fair price-twice less. These falling prices can not be traced, because they are produced in the summer, before the crisis. Although the lack of sales on the upper estimate: indirect evidence of composure buyers ...
But for auction in late November and December, and Sotheby's and Christie decently thrown off the price, one McDougall, as a crazy, yet 30-40%slipped. Well Anisfeld can cost 1,5-3 million pounds? Well?
