(Drivebycuriosity) - It`s November again and the world`s largest auction houses had their
annual huge fall auctions in Manhattan. This post focuses on the gallery for the Now auction, focusing on art executed in the last 20 years @ Sotheby`s ( sothebys).
Quality & Quantity of the displayed art works were overwhelming and admission was free. I display here just my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.
The post starts with Jenny Saville´s fleshy and wall filling "Shift" (typical for her) followed by Hernan Bas`s wild and exotic "Night Flight or Midnight Migration, or My Merry Way".
Above this paragraph are more gorgeus paintings: "Flight into Egypt" by Emma Webster plus Flora Yukhnovich´s "It`s better down, where it`s wetter". Wow!
Love Your Neighbor
Paintings by South African artist Marlene Dumas` always catche my eyes. Above her "Love Your Neighbor". It´s hot there.
Mohammed Sami`s: "The Praying Room" seems to be inspired by German expressionism. The artist is born in Baghdad and lives and works in London.
Neo Rauch`s surreal compositions belong to my favorites. Sotheby´s showed his "Monumental Item".
Lukas Duwenhögger`s: "Rezalet (Impertinence)" also tells a complex story, reminding me of Evelyn Waugh.
Sid Vicious Arrested
Beware of the cat: "No Bare Back, After Brace" by Lisa Brace.
"Sid Vicious Arrested, Chelsea Hotel" by Elizabeth Peyton. The dark side of Punk

"Full Frontal (Purble, Blue and Red)" by Loie Hollowell. Mesmerizing!
Last but not least Julie Mehretu´s monumental "Walkers with the Dawn and Morning"
Enjoy!
