The question is, but among us experts at Doig bought more for the 13000, as was done by Saatchi?

I understand - this is a rhetorical question? : D

only one conclusion: "Art Fever"

during the gold rush as people went crazy. Nothing of their crisis teaches. I only prices on the art market, but not at a pace.

And who is against growth! But if you talk about Doig, I do not know where these sums? Well, nice pictures, but no more!? What millions gentlemen !?... While it may be something we do not know? : confused:

In general, the trend is correct! Art - this is one of the most remarkable things in the world! What else to spend money? Buy, art and gentlemen! This is always true!

Significantly exceeded the estimate and the self-portrait of Warhol, not previously offered for sale. For now, established in 1965, planned to rescue 1-1,5 million, and it managed to sell over 6.130 million dollars.

Two works by Willem de Kooning - sculpture "Torso" and painting "Untitled. XV" - went under the hammer for the 5,68 and 6,1 million respectively. The final price of both lots was only slightly below the upper bound estimate.

why rhetorical? Practical ....

Rhetorical, because one can hardly be expected before Doig interested Saatchi, that his work could be so fantastically expensive. I do not understand why, for his paintings to pay tens of millions. The market is much more interesting things for this money.

Tjutchev, for 13000? Classmates
I like Doig, not so much ah!, but like .. but now looked through the entire catalog of two Kontemporari Phillips - would not buy anything.
That's so on the wall to hang over the sofa and order and the like, and not annoyed ...
Needless to hang! :-)

There is no need to hang!

But hang yourself!

[Seriy]

as a temporary measure, yes. I really do think some sort of frame and hang it in the current things. And as always, no, very tired for a long time to look at their own things. Well you know, Picasso avert their picture on the wall :-)
