(Drivebycuriosity) - It`s May again and the world`s largest auction houses have their annual Spring 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 always.
This parts starts with 2 favorite of mine: Peter Doig with the spooky "Target". Does he mean the person in the image? Rudolf Stingel is a master in many genres. Above I present his amazing "Untitled" (oil on canvas!). Apparently a homage to his home Südtirol, now a part of Italy.
2 more by my favorites: Gerhard Richter`s "Kerze (Candle)" & Andrew Wyeth`s "Chicken Mash".
Above follows Roy Lichtenstein`s amazing "Anxious Girl".
Abigail Witch Hunter
What a face! Sam McKinniss`"Abigail Williams". She "was an 11 or 12-year-old girl who, along with nine-year-old Betty Parris, was among the first of the children to accuse their neighbors of witchcraft in 1692; these accusations eventually led to the Salem witch trials" (wikipedia ). Look on her piercing eyes!
Isn`t she pretty? Amadeo Modigliani`s "Almaisa".
What does Jenna Gibbon want to tell us? The painting is called "A Favorable Consensus".
Jill Mulleady`s "Requiem" also puzzles me.
Last but not least some nudes by famous painters: Salvador Dali`s "Chair de poule rhinocerontique" ; Rene Magritte`s "LÈmbille" & Richard Prince`s "Untitled (de Kooning)".
Enjoy!
