Christie's Paris, 1/12/2009

[LCR]

While all Russian busy session in London, I calmly looked at the results of a trading impressionists and modernists in Paris Christie's. I will not list the prices of works gone, I will only say that someone has made an excellent operation, having bought 18 paintings by Natalia Goncharova (on pre-auction may show there was only one, but at our request, we have shown all the pictures, they are all different, but 6 or 7 very detailed, with color).
But I want to share some of my thoughts on the trend: for quite some time, I think it's time artists 1930-40 gg. I do not accidentally included in the mysteries of artists such as Jean Elion and Alberto Manelli (Italian painter who worked in Paris, was a friend and at some point had an impact on steel - must be devoted to him, as Elion, separate story).

• Manelli, lyrical explosion, 1918-19, x /m, 124,5 h88, 8, a preliminary assessment 150000/200000 euro, the result of 421,000 euros.
• Manelli, Lady with the green fan, 1914, x /m, 100 x 75, 150000/200000, 385000 euro result
• Manelli, spell, 1935, x /m, 130h97, 40000/60000, the result is 133000 euros
• Manelli, Stones, 1933, x /m, 81 x 65.4, 30000/50000, the result of 97000 euro
• Elion, blue figure, 1937, 114.5 x 91. 70000/100000, the result is 205000 euros.

I think you should pay attention to them, as well as search artists of the second plan with a strong aesthetic 1930.

Paris Christi chrezvychayno resultant watched online, the auction has confirmed some expectations. It took quite a lot of lots with a double and more than exceeding the upper esteytmenta. A pocket-like sculptures by Giacometti and the surreal world Volfgana Paal, with 10 fold! I must say that the work was a smart provenance, from the family Marchand colors Maurice Lefebvre-Foinet, their 5 generations Marchand had been since 1880

Yes, that's the result, which I was very pleased:

As Giacometti (whom I love very much), then it becomes like a crazy

Dear Martin, very little chance that the LCR will Zao Woo-Ki - she is his little known and not very fond of. Maybe take the Chinese under his wing and even dedicated a story?

Prepositional adopted, the more it is a remarkable artist, I think many will be interesting, and ultimately can you look at him differently. In my opinion difficult to love when you know not, although there are exceptions pryatnye
