Michel Tapié

Sentir el arte de otra forma

Desde del 31 enero hasta el 29 febrero 2012,   El Departamento de Arte Contemporáneo de Christie's presenta una exposición para celebrar la investigación artistica por el crítico Michel Tapié (1909-1987). Cerca de 60 obras prestadas por coleccionistas e instituciones se presentan para ilustrar su carrera.


La reputación de Michel Tapié, una importante figura internacional del mundo del arte desde el 1940 hasta la década de 1970, fue construida alrededor de Dubuffet y Fautrier. Los dos artistas fueron profundamente sacudidós por  el llamado de Tapié, "Sentir el arte de otra forma" ("Art of Another Kind", 1952).  


Michel  Tapié  se dedicó a investigar a los artistas que ofrecen otra visión y un arte que no encaja en el molde de las normas establecidas.

Asian Art in London

Asian Art in London is an annual event which involves London's leading Asian art dealers, joining together for a series of selling exhibitions during the 10 days of Asian Art in London.

At the same time, the major auction houses of Bonhams, Christie's and Sotheby's hold auctions and gallery talks. In combination with this, the premier London Museums and Institutions present exhibitions and lectures.


A sample of the magnificent selection of Asian antiques and contemporary Asian art from: India; China; Japan; the Himalayas and Korea, spanning some 5000 years of culture - including ceramics, furniture, glass, jade, jewellery, manuscripts, metalwork, paintings, screens, stone carvings and textiles.

The international trade in Chinese art is worth at least $10 billion a year, according to Bloomberg calculations. Record quantities of material are being offered at a time when Asian buyers have become more discriminating. They’re also finding it more difficult to borrow money for purchases, said dealers.

The art market is really not predictable

Litzlberg am Attersee

"The art market is really not predictable," said Daniella Luxembourg, a dealer in New York and London. "It's influenced by the nervousness about the financial markets and the political instability around the world."


Christie's Nov. 1 sale missed its low estimate after the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 5.2 percent in two days. The index rose 1.6 percent yesterday before Sotheby's auction.


"If ever there was a turnaround, I think it happened tonight," Sotheby's auctioneer, Tobias Meyer, said after the two-hour-plus sale.


The top lot, Klimt's "Litzlberg am Attersee," was stolen by the Nazis from its Jewish owner and recently returned to the woman's grandson. The 1915 work depicts verdant hills above the lake of the title in western Austria.


Earlier this year, the Museum of Modern Art in Salzburg, Austria, returned the work to Georges Jorisch, grandson of Amalie Redlich, who owned it until she was deported to Lodz, a Polish town with a large Jewish ghetto, and never heard from again. The Gestapo sold off her collection."

Pablo Picasso to excite a robust market

L' Abaude

 " Christie's and Sotheby's hold their big autumn art sales in New York starting next week, with both houses looking to Pablo Picasso to excite a robust market.


The prominence of important works by Picasso, Matisse and other modern masters in the impressionist and modern art sales at Christie's on Tuesday and Sotheby's on Wednesday reflects the healthy appetite this year for big-ticket works, auctioneers said.


A strong market is also expected the following week when the two houses hold their contemporary art auctions.

Nu de dos

Simon Shaw, head of the modern and impressionist department at Sotheby's, said the offerings are "slightly bigger in the number of lots, (which) reflects perhaps an increased confidence."


A low estimate of $185 million is expected for the Wednesday sale, led by Picasso's playful and erotic "L'Aubade," estimated at US$18-25 million (S$22-31 million), and Henri Matissse's monumental bronze sculpture of a woman seen from the back, "Nu de dos," estimated at US$20-30 million."
