(Drivebycuriosity) - It´s auction season again. Last weekend the global auction houses started their 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).
We where overwhelmed by quantity and quality of the displayed works. Showing
all the gems of this show would go beyond the capacity of the
blog, so I just display some of my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual. On top of this post you can see Andy Warhol`s "Double Mona Lisa".
On top of this paragraphy you can see Lisa Brice`s "Reclining Figure (Case)" & Christina Quarles`"Don't They Know? It's the End of the World".
Above follow Sterling Ruby`s "SP113" & Albert Oehlen`s "Understanding".
There where 2 paintings by Mark Tansey, who belongs to my favorite artists. Above his "Archive".
Above follows his "Mont Sainte-Victoire #1". On the first glance the lower half looks like a mirror image from the upper half, but actually the lower half shows a different scene. So I post the original image followed by the lower half inverted.
Above you can see Chloe Wise´s "I Have no Hate, I'm a Namasté Person".
And last but not least I display Martin Wong`s "Portrait of Mikey Piñero at Ridge Street and Stanton" plus a detail shot.
To be continued
