HURRAH, the NOVEMBER ART AUCTIONS are here. The works that
\nSOTHEBY’S has to offer at its important Contemporary Evening Sale include
\nno less than 9 Warhols. Andy Warhol’s work has been the “meat and potatoes”
\nfor the auctions during the last ten years, so this is no surprise.<\/p>\n

Among this year’s ‘sexy’ selections are Chris Ofili’s ‘Strange Eyes’ 2001,
\n and 3 Richard Princes, especially ‘Mountain Nurse’, a 2003 painting
\nfrom the “Nurse” series. Hiroshi Sugimoto’s large photographic portraits
\nof “Henry VIII and his 6 Wives”, and Jeff Koons’ two mirror pieces from
\nhis “Mirror” series, should also prove to be hot.<\/p>\n

Some other very important and very expensive works include a 1961
\npainting by Cy Twombly, a Gerhard Richter photo-painting of a
\nwoman’s head from 1966, and a major David Smith large polished abstract
\nsculpture, circa 1965, the year he died. The Twombly is estimated at $6-8 million.
\nThe Gerhard Richter, ‘Portrait Wachenfeld’, a black and white oil painting on canvas, of a woman’s face painted from a photograph, at 31-1\/2 in sq., is a very small piece and still commands an estimate of $800,000-1.2 million. The David Smith is going for an estimate
\nof $8-12 million. <\/p>\n

Although Sotheby’s Afternoon Contemporary Auction on November 10, is
\nconsidered to have less important and therefore less expensive works, some real gems appear at that sale. My favorites are: the Thomas Demand ‘Zeiw Torten’ 1990, Robert Gober’s ‘Cat Litter’ 1990 and Thomas Ruff’s ‘Substrat 13 I’, 2003. Happy Hunting and may you get what you want.<\/p>\n
