As everyone already knows one of the portraits of the recently deceased 13th aktrsy Liz Taylor written by iconic Andy Warhol has been sold to "
Russian" auction house Phillips de Pury for $ 29.9 million (Estonian: 20-30).
The question arises - why the master pattern (which incidentally is rumored is a very cunning financier
Steven Cohen - 35 places in Forbes' list) is not gave it a more prestigious Christie or Sotebis and decided to sell through our "
compatriots" a Phillips??
A casket was called quite simply - Phillips gave Cohen "guarantee" that if the painting did not sell at auction, then they will redeem it for an agreed price. Christy or Sotebis before too routinely gave such assurances have not yet got nemerenoe in crisis in 2008, and therefore more such guarantees, they do not give. Phillips's office is supported by money Leonid Fridlyand and Leonid Strunina give a multi-million-guarantee can gives excellent quietly.
So how do you know if you noticed in the painting at auction there is a secret warranty or anything else which podlyanka? To find out, should look carefully at the small symbols are indicated next to the description of the lot and then compare these characters with a "
rasshifrovochnoy table. " Here's an example Sotebis points guaranteed lots of glass of:
O - Guaranteed Property
The seller of lots marked with an "O" has been guaranteed a minimum price from one auction or a series of auctions. If every lot in a catalogue is guaranteed, the Conditions of Sale will so state and this symbol "O" will not be used for each lot.
By the way - Phillips opened a brand chic new office /gallery in New York on the fashionable Park Avenue - an old room in the "meat" area dauntouna I tell you honestly it was quite
do not kamilfo . Will be in New York City - be sure to visit - at the same time go in a glass cube of Apple on 5 Avenue - there is 5 minutes walk
