Sotheby's Art Auctions β’ LONDON π¬π§, by lee3 on Jan 20, 2012 18:24:59 GMT 1, Much nicer (to my eyes) Fetish lady over at Christie's day sale, which is not to suggest I don't adore that rat. Some incredible examples of Yves Klein, Fontana, Rotella, Freud, Bacon and Wesselmann on offer this go around with a surprising lack of Warhol (outside of the pink fright wig).

I have a great picture of me holding one of these bad boys and can honestly say if I had that much money to dispose of I would want to own one of these without question. Bring on the lottery numbers please.

You're probably right as their job is to solicit interest and push that thing higher and I can't recall the last time something of his sold within an estimate range. Still, the high estimate is 200k sterling and that's a lot of coin for a 6 year old painting.
I am keeping a watchful eye on this piece below as I have a lot of respect for the brief period we call fauvism and its effect on contemporary art today. This is back when artists began painting trees purple and skies green and really toying with the elements of a composition. Way out of my league collection wise but I can at least admire and appreciate the work itself. The seller grabbed this just 3 years ago during the February '09 auctions when the world was coming to an end for a tad under 2MM GBP. They are looking to triple serious money in 3 years while (probably) laughing off any criticism of a flip. Meanwhile, the person who bought it in '08 and sold/flipped it in '09 was left with a loss exceeding 1MM GBP/nearly $3MM US. Timing is everything I suppose

Sotheby's Art Auctions β’ LONDON π¬π§, by Brushstrokes 75 on Apr 4, 2012 22:44:14 GMT 1, Even though it's not urban art and even though nobody on here would buy this one.
It is my favourite painting ever and for one to come up for sale is amazing!
There are only 4 copies of this painting with only this one in the hands of a private collection (Probably the biggest piece to ever hit the auction this year.
Loved the Warhol one at Sotheby's last week, so can't wait to be able to see this one!

I'm wondering about their security though. The 2 places who have the painting have already been robbed. Wondering the measures sotheby's will take to prevent a robbery.....
