PART I – CONTEMPORARY ART – AUCTION CATALOGUE
\n NOVEMBER 16, 2006 – NEW YORK
\n PHILLIPS de PURY & COMPANY<\/p>\n

this is the Karen Kilimnik self-portrait that was referred to in the earlier
\nartlovers posting on .. ‘The Early Auction buzz is …” <\/p>\n

This is the piece that was reported to have had a guaranteed seller’s tag of
\nhalf a million dollars. PHILLIPS de PURY confirmed the guarantee to the
\nseller, but declined to give the actual numbers. <\/p>\n

We got the impression that the guaranteed tag was slightly less than the
\nbuzz claimed, but NO !! – the rebounded buzz is that is was MORE !!
\n$650,000, to be exact. IF the piece was bought in 2001, this represents
\na good profit, by the seller, if indeed, they were the original buyer,
\nbecause at that time, her prices did not exceed $30,000 – for the
\ntop-of-the-line portraits.<\/p>\n

\nNOVEMBER 2 – NOVEMBER 22, 2006
\nVAN DE WEGHE FINE ART
\n521 WEST 23RD STREET, NEW YORK, NY<\/p>\n

image: Rene Magritte, Le Pelerin<\/em>, 1966, Oil on canvas,
\n31-7\/8 x 25-5\/8 inches<\/p>\n

.. it occurs to this ‘art maven’ , having happened upon this excellent & currently running
\nexhibit of RENE MAGRITTE, that KAREN KILIMNIK’S work, investigates the same sublime
\nemotional
\ndepths, as this classic 20th Century Belgian painter. Especially his late
\nwork. To my mind this is what differentiates Karen’s work from ELIZABETH PEYTON’S,
\nwith whom she is always compared to and grouped with. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
