(Drivebycuriosity) - It`s May again and the world`s largest auction houses have their annual huge Spring auctions in Manhattan. This post focuses on Sotheby`s (sothebys ). As usual quality & quantity of the displayed art works were overwhelming and admission was free. I display here just my favorites, a very subjective selection.
This post starts with 2 powerful painting: "Alpine Retreat 2" by Adrian Ghenie (2017, oil on canvas, 290 by 300 cm) & "Burkini Kill" by Cecily Brown (2016, oil on canvas, 185.4 by 180.3 cm).
Above follow "I Couldn`t Care Less" by Jenna Gribbon & "Man Crazy Nurse" by Richard Prince.
"Woman Contemplating A Yellow Cup" by Roy Lichtenstein & "Leaves Of A Plant" by Georgia O`Keefe.
"Sparks" by Andrew Wyeth; "Across The Place" by Yu Nishimura & "Tolbrook" by John Currin.
"La Traversée Difficile" by René Magritte; "LÀddition" by Félix De Marle & "Femme À L`Hippocampe" by Jean Metzinger.
"La Trompe" by Gustave Courbet; "Woman Knitting By A Window" by Peter Ilstedt & "Frozen Custard" by Reginald Marsh.
Last but not least some nudes: "Torse De Femme Nue Couchée" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir; "Nu À La Tasse De Thé" by Henry Lebasque & "La Modèle Lisant Au Nu À La Cheminée" by Albert Marquet.
Enjoy!
