From New York to London: an exciting close-up!

While New York buckles down for yet another blizzard, Sotheby’s London prepares to welcome an exceptional private collection of Modern and Contemporary artwork. The collection is part of a preliminary two-day auction, currently being held at Sotheby’s New York house. In between meetings this morning, I briefly stopped in to see it myself. Amongst the impressive collection, are works by some of my favorite artists; included are pieces by Modigliani, Picasso, and Giacometti...as well as a couple of amazing mixed media pieces by Antoni Tapies. It is only showing for the next two days, so try to get there if you can.  It is thrilling to see art that you admire in an auction setting as opposed to a museum, knowing someone very fortunate will get to own these pieces!
