KEITH HARING

[Konstantin]

September 19 Phillips holds an auction in New York :
Under the Influence New York September 19
Attracted the attention of lot number 57 KEITH HARING
dear artist , his works have long been in the range of 1 - 1.5 million dollars , and there is quite inexpensive offers a useful thing (photo 1 )
1985 plaster phallus sculpture with paint and ink
15 1/2 x 6 x 5 1/2 in. (39.4 x 15.2 x 14 cm.)
Signed, inscribed and dated "APRIL 10 - 85 FOR BOBBY W /LOVE Keith" on the underside.
Estimate $ 10,000 - 15,000
What could be the weather ? If a utilitarian point of view, look - a little expensive , but if with the investment - cultural - nothing.
Especially immediately recalled the relatively recent sale of a similar item :
"Two " extremely rare " dildo , created in the late XVIII century , was sold for 3.6 million pounds ( 5.4 million dollars) at an auction in Brentwood in the English county of Essex . "
By the way razmerchik oh-oh 25 and 28 cm, but not the main thing , the main thing in the concluding words :
" Perhaps you will laugh, but it's a good opportunity to invest . Such instances you will not see for a long time ," - said auction organizer Wendy Wood. (photo 2).
That's anywhere from these investments do not go, even in such an intimate sphere.

Yesterday there was an auction Phillips de pury

Look at the results :

Lot 57 KEITH HARING ( red dildo )
I wrote above that the price of his paintings in the $ 1-1.5 million estimate of $ 10,000 - 15,000 for free. So I thought , not only , for the lot and wrestled as a result of exceeding ten times the starting lot was sold for $ 112,500 , and that's certainly a profitable investment purchase .
But erotic pictures THOMAS RUFF lots number 90 and 91, sold just under or within the estimate without a fight for $ 15,000 and $ 22,500 , respectively, but nevertheless we can see and it has fans . And what of our ? From our picture participated in the bidding Dubossarsky Vinogradova
Lot number 193 DUBOSSARSK Y & VINOGRADOV
La Volpina, 2000 , while the estimate 18,000 - $ 25,000 painting sold for just below the start of a 15 000. Good or bad ? When thinking "in principle" it's good to artists in the auction are a holder and at the same liquid at the international level. When thinking in terms of a particular outcome, it is below their standard sales (which is 20,000 - $ 25,000 ), but say it is about what is trending down early.

Good idea for curators.
Buy phalluses and give artists that b-painted ..
Chic collection can succeed!
And again - the same aktualnenko ...

Misha ? Kostya ?

Well, I honestly put it abstractly , does not aim to comment on the sale of all our artists. But if the phrase had infringed someone's interest is willing to apologize.
I stopped at the Dubossary and Vinogradov because about their pictures all the time you hear that there are a hundred thousand dollars , that's how I look and I am in fact they are .

This is because their things were before the crisis, and after only one time in a hundred handled care.
