Today looking sections of the old masters, and, for the first time organized in Maastricht, the graphics section. The schedule was struck by the price of lithography: 50-65 000 euros for the German Expressionists, had not followed this sector, but it seems that too much. Sonia Delaunay - 85 000 euros, I used to buy no more than 35 000 dollars, pencil portraits of Matisse's already on 200 000 (small) to 350 000.
In the old masters stunning Brueghel (400 000 - small, 2-3 million standard 50x70) and Cranach (from 400 tons to 6 million) in the world so many rich people, how can such masterpieces are on sale? Interestingly, in the old masters a lot of masterpieces, while in the twentieth century, there are almost none, and the new things (not previously known) was perhaps the only one De Stael.
Uriart, yesterday Archipenko - is well-known "A silhouette in space" 90-cm tall, there can not be photographed, but I think you know this thing, if not - go home and post it.
