Just returned from Christie's, Sotheby's receptions. This year they decided to make the devices in parallel - at the same time, apparently to save: the guests will go and there and here, then eat, drink less. Although far too less: at Sotheby's were treated to champagne and canapes size of a match head, and Christie was the original: the same champagne offered a snack (!!!), cabbage salad and ice cream (!!!) - you would not believe - sandwich with herring, still stuck with last year!
About the collection of Christie's nothing to say: so pathetic in my memory (ie the last 12 years) has not yet happened. In Shuhaeva genius and a very strong point of the Unknown nothing. Knowledgeable people say that in the 19 th century a lot of incorrect material, and the leadership of Christie pointed out and proved it on several lots, what will happen next - learn the auction.
