Art Market: Tidbits From Christie`s Contemporary Art Show

 (Drivebycuriosity) - Last week Manhattan`s huge auction houses had their fall auctions. This post focuses on contemporary art @ Christie`s (christies ).  

 

I was overwhelmed by quantity and quality of the displayed art works, comparable to a big museum like New York`s MoMa. I can display here only my personal favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.

 

 

Above three amazing images: Jonas Wood´s "Jeremy" followed by Caroline Walker´s "Study for Bedding, Room 44" & "Resort". 

 

Isn`t she cute? "Loose Screw" by Anny Weyant followed by Ewa Juskiewics`"Untitled (after Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun").

 

 

Do you like abstracts? "Fallback, Back/Side" by Christina Quarles; "Brandloch (Bonhole)" by Albert Oehlen; "Fight in an Elevator #4" by Dana Schutz & "Degenerate Art (Selfportrait as Vincent Van Gogh with Bandaged Ear)" by Adrian Ghenie.

 

 

 

Above George Condo`s "The Cocktail Drinker´s Wife"; Martin Wong`s "Divine"; Todd Bienvenu`s "Shoes" & David Wojnarowizc´s "History Keeps me Awake at Night (For Rilo Chmierlorz)".

Isn`t it wonderful? Eric Fischl`s dyptich "Bayonne"

If you are in strange and funny installations, Voila: "Inochi" by Takashi Murakami.
