Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sale, Sothebys, New York

  1. The day sale is returning to its role as garage sale for the upper classes, with lots of work of minor value by people you haev never heard of
  2. Standard works, but some deals, a Degas Bather Pastel for 993k and a Charcoal Bather for 333k, a REdon watercolour bought in, A Klee Utopian cosntruction, some Elizabeth Frink bronzes, a bimorphic Arp bronze (shiny!), a couple of Virigina Fanton-Letour flower pictures, a Moore table top bronze,
  3. Kitsch nude by Rysselberghe, modified odaliesque, was the only one to go over a million
  4. Lots of, mostly, nudes and landscapes, which indicate a certain cosnerative trend (after 300 or so lots it becomes difficult to figure out who painted which naked lady or plein hair south of france scene)
  5. Kees Van Doegen's nudes, even in pencil, are creepy.
  6. Much less Buffett, Chagall, or Duffy though
  7. This is wehre you bought your giocemetti, with a bunch going for low five figures, including a double rat
  8. 94/308 unsold, including a monet paste, 3 sisley landscapes, 2 luce lanscapes, an important renoir double portrait, a vuillard landscape with epic greens, a moore bronze, some minor picassos, a Grosz sketch of a sex worker, form the weimar, a few matisesse, the under rated Lubin's portrait of an alien insext, and a sexy, sleeping balthus loliita.
