(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 @ Sotheby`s. 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 as usual.
On top of this post you can see one of Jean-Michel Basquiat`s funny paintings: "La Vieja". Art can be entertainment.
Lucio Fontana`s "Concetto Spaziale, Attese" - one of his famous scratch paintings - belongs also to the highlights of the show.
Above you can see Mark Tansey`s wall spanning "Library of Babylon". Tansey`s "Study on Ínstalling the Lens`" also caught my eyes.
Above another highlight: A detail shot of Pierre-Auguste Renoir`s "En Canot (Jeunne fille a`la barque)".
I also enjoyed Ivan Tovar´s surrealist "La Fille Au Violon" and Gerhard Richter´s "Spanische Seeschlacht" ("Spanish Sea Battle).
Above follow Alex Katz´s pleasant "Saturday" & Maxfield Parrish´s magic "The Glen".
Isn`t she lovely - René Magritte`s "La Chambre De La Fée"
