Bram - I will respond to this when I am on safer ground. Which is probably at least 10 years away...

Years of insider knowledge and the ability to accept defect graciously.

Anyway the price the Faile NYC box goes for will cheer me up... ;D ;D

I think the goal gave us a lifeline. We left the pitch on the up and there heads dropped a little...still in the balance!

Marching on together.....

Sorry for the thread drift! Come on Lot 42 !!

$1 million? Wow, I find that hard to believe but it is a stunning piece. I'm incredibly underwhelmed by this auciton especially compared with the wonderful evening and morning sales Christie's and Sotheby's have put together this week. They have got an unbelievable concentraion of quality work for sale. This sale is lackluster at best imho, though I will be interested to see what happens with the Mel Ramos Green Lantern painting. I've got a good friend (who owns a Ramos) who took a pass on that painting many yeas ago at $25k.

>>>I'm also very interested in how much the Francis Bacon triptych goes for in the Sothebys auction,<<<<

Now we're talking. The whisper is $75 million with more than a couple suggesting it could see 9 digits. If that Richard Prince nurse painting hits $8 million than just shoot me now though I would love to have his Shot salesman for significantly less in the same sale. It will be interesting to see if that Clyfford Still smashes right through $20 million like his last one. I can't wait for this evening!

so when does this start ?

are we going to be able to watch this online?

Don't think there's a link

mel ramos is the one im looking forward to seeing aswell...and anish kapoor / nw tma LDN..s.

Anish Kapoor went unsold.

The Still piece will be one to watch. I know an abstract collector that owns quite a few Motherwells that is after the Still today, with a cap of $15 million. He said he thinks odds are against him... I agree. I am looking for this one to do over 30 Million.
