If you had £10,000 which original?, by rcab11 on Oct 31, 2008 0:20:50 GMT 1, Salvador Dali, Soft Self Portrait. Amazing Piece, if £10,000 will cover it. 
A Jasper Johns would also be nice, any of the oil numbers series 0-9 would be suffice.

If you had £10,000 which original?, by lee3 on Oct 31, 2008 1:50:57 GMT 1, Villegle or Kokian. (or Ficha or more).
I've got a couple of Villegle's and have been kicking myself for selling one recently (the first sale of my art collecting career). i had agreed to sell it with 2 other pieces (one of which was bought in) a couple of months ago just to say "yeah i was right" and to use the proceeds to buy more Banksy. Anyway, that damn Villegle was a gem and went for the low estimate a week of 2 ago so somebody got a steal imo. Christie's asked me to lower both reserves below the low estimate and i refused on both counts because i wasn't even interested in the low estimate but at the time of consignment everything had been smashing its high estimate for as long as i've been a collector. Timing is everything i suppose but I am REALLY regretting the decision to sell that piece which was certainly museum quality considering some of his work that I've seen in other public collections. Lesson learned, no more selling if i can avoid it and instead try to only trade up to other work that I want.

If you had £10,000 which original?, by sfdoddsy on Oct 31, 2008 6:36:35 GMT 1, I agree with Lee3. If I had 10K spare I would be not be looking at the usual suspect here, I would be looking at real fine art such as DuBuffet or Villegle.
I've just bought a Rotella, nabbed a very small signed DuBuffet a few weeks back and am looking for more now. Alas I can only afford the poster version of this piece, but it might be in your range:
www.artnet.com/artwork/424663787/424187413/jean-dubuffet-maquette-pour-silkeborg.html
Just gorgeous.
Of the others, I'd pick a couple of Supines or Basts if you can find them.
As for auctions, the comment about paying more than anyone else may be true, but an auction also means that at least one other person is willing to pay almost as much as you.
This is not the case at a gallery sale.

If you had £10,000 which original?, by onemandown72 on Oct 31, 2008 9:55:07 GMT 1, You're in a pretty strong position with £10K to look at more established artists with longer careers and so a larger body of work. For this reason whilst you will pick up some fantastic work from artists loved on this forum all of the above advice on looking outside of here is spot on. For me I would do as suggested and check out the upcoming American auctions, and familiarise myself with any of the artists work who caught my eye, and investigate further. I would be very tempted to hold on to spend until the next round of auctions in Feb, as it's highly likely prices will drop further and you'll find your money going even further.
I'd say do some more digging, and if you can wait until Feb before you buy

My mate has a RS Focus running at approx 517bhp, i can put in a good word next time he does a day at Silverstone.. He pays £25 for 3 or 4 laps, apparently 'normal' folk can't manage more than that due to adrenaline dump.
I'm going to go the next one and take some pics of all the drivers bashed up by the effects of adrenaline dump
