Art Market: Gems From The Now Art Show @ Sotheby`s New York


 (Drivebycuriosity) - It`s November again. Time for Manhattan`s big fall auctions. This weekend I went to Sotheby´s to see their galleries for impressionists, modern & contemporary art. Part of the show was the gallery for their "Now Evening Auction" ( sothebys). 

According to the website this gallery focused "on the art of our time, offering the most exciting, cutting-edge works on the market and providing a masterpiece context for well-established and newly canonized artists". Anyway, I  spotted there a lot awesome paintings and I display here my personal favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.

 


On top of this post you can see one of my favorites: Cecily Brown with "Eyes wide shut" (from 2001) followed by her "Pauline" which is - for some reason - part of the Contemporary Auctions. As often she hid some sex into her seemingly abstracts. I discovered this artist with her show @ Paula Cooper gallery in 2017 (with a lot more pics  driveby).
