Christies Post War & Contemporary Art sale. 23 Sep, by lee3 on Aug 27, 2009 18:35:48 GMT 1, I love the Gottlieb "Flat Black" and I showed my wife the Dubuffet yesterday which has a teaser estimate @ 6k. I've been after a Dubuffet for longer than I care to remember. She correctly pointed out that while nice, it's just a Dubuffet for the sake of owning one, let's wait for a colorful hourloupe figure that we both love as he was quite prolific. She is smarter than I am. Not going or bidding. This is an odd month and back when the art market was more normal (which it probably is now) one didn't put anything nice in the September sales. I'm surprised to see a 22 inch Flower painting in this for that very reason but they probably told the consignor that they would be the standout piece and the cover and convinced them to include it. That's another low estimate imo.
Also noticed a Laugh Now at Bonham's in septemeber too. I believe they did away with their fall urban art sale unless I've got my dates all screwed up.
