Art Market: Tidbits From Spring Auctions 2022 @ Christie`s New York

 (Drivebycuriosity) - It´s auction season again. This week the global auction houses have their huge spring auctions in New York City. As usual my wife and I went their to see their huge galleries. We began with Christie´s in Manhattan´s midtown. They had galleries for their Marquee Week, separated in 21st Century Sale, the 20th Century Evening Sale and the Post War & Contemporary Art Day Sale plus some amazing collections (christies ). They also displayed an impressive amount of impressionists, modern art works and some surreal paintings.

 

We were overwhelmed by the amassed art collections. I can show here just some tidbits and focus more on lesser known artists and funnier works, but there might be exceptions. On top of this post you can see Rainer Fetting`s "Rotes Mauerbild" followed by Ine Longevial`s "Olive oil on dragon fruit" & Adrian Gheinie`s "Antelope attacked near Gas pipe 2".

 

 

Above you can see Michael Mogoro`s "Face it"; Milo Reice`s "Big Bang (Pandora)"; Salman Toor´s "Girl and Boy with Driver" & Roby Dwi Antono`s "Sense of Aurora Post War Day".
