(Drivebycuriosity) - It`s November again and the world`s largest auction houses have their annual huge fall auctions in Manhattan. This post focuses on the auction galleries @ Christie`s (christies). As usual quality & quantity of the displayed art works was overwhelming and admission is free. I display here just my favorites, a very subjective selection as usual.
On top of this post you can see David Hockney`s "Christopher Isherwood and Don Barchady" (acrylic on canvas 83 ½/2 x 119 ½ in. (212 × 303.5 cm.) followed by Francis Bacon`s violent lover Lucian Freud with "The Painter Surprised by a Naked Admirer" & Genieve Figgis`"Sunday Tee in the Garden".
Above this paragraph follow Rudolf Bauer`s huge nipple "Composition with Red Circle" & Firelei Báez`s "Untitled ((Colonization in America, Visual History Wall Map, Prepared by Civic Education Service).
Consent S&M?
Artists like to provoke: Maurizio Cattelan`s "Untitled" (2007, resin, paint, human hair, clothing, packing tissue, wood and screws). A crime scene or consent S&M? Anyway I spotted this girl already at Christie´s Spring Auction in 2017 (driveby ) & Takashi Murakami`s "Miss Ko (Project Ko)".
Above you can see Cecily Brown`s "It`s not yesterday any more" & Adrian Ghenie´s "Bogeyman".
Then follow George Condo`s "Untitled" & John Currin`s "Lake Place".
Forests With Tiny Figures
Tomás Sanchez specializes in huge forests with tiny figures. Above his "Discovering the other Shore".
Then follow Julia Jo`s "Rhyme or Reason" & "Catherine Goodman`s "Solo".
And last but not least Caroline Walker´s "Study for Troupes, Backstage I" & John Singer Sargent`s "Corner of the Church of San Stae. Venice".
To be continued.
