http://www.fineartbrokers.com/ Fine Art Brokers en-uk Copyright 2012 Fine Art Brokers Mon, 6 Feb 2012 09:32:43 GMT The sales this February in London comprise a mixture of quality, the finest work is illustrated on the front cover of the Christie's Evening Sale: a 1914-15 oil by Juan Gris, one of the only true Cubists that managed to embrace colour and work it elegantly into such a composition-led movement. Yet it is run close by the Sotheby's cover lot - a 1901 Klimt of excellent quality. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=44 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT The news was good for the art market after one of the most successful mixed owner sales in history at Sotheby's and Christie's. The sale week got off to a shaky start when Christie's Evening Sale had much of their sale unsold and a horrible 'bought in' rate was not what the market expected, even given the Eurozone issues with the world economy. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=43 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT Sotheby's Contemporary sales feature an astonishing collection of works by Gerhard Richter from a Private Collection - these are being offered at the perfect time as Tate Modern in London is currently showing a major retrospective of Richter's work. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=42 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:40:00 GMT It has been a long Summer in the Art world, with many dealers seeing the financial markets turn and fall following the euro crisis. That said this is now a fantastic opportunity for buyers, and one that we have not seen since either the early 2000s or following the Lehmann Brothers crash in late 2008. Many of the works at auction this fall will be available at lower prices simply because the competition will likely not be there, even for the best quality kit. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=41 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:40:00 GMT Tate Modern's retrospective of Miró's work was one of the most impressive displays that Tate Modern has put on, and in my view equalled the Paul Gauguin exhibition in the same space last year. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=40 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 11:10:00 GMT The Christie's and Sotheby's sales this summer were two very different events in terms of lots offered and the sale strategy of the two houses... http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=39 Tue, 5 Jul 2011 12:00:00 GMT Following the staggering results of the November sales in New York it was always going to be interesting to see whether the London sales would generate the same sort of demand as they had in June 2010. As we thought, the globalised world of the top end art market saw a continuing upsurge in demand for top quality, world class pictures and sculptures. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=38 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT Sales results at the New York Impressionist and Modern auctions in early November were strong. Christie's opened theirs was not a strong sale, yet still sold 70% by lot and 71% by value. The following night Sothebys sold 85% by lot and 93% by value. An exceptional result. As the Baer report put it: 'cash is no longer king and that commodities like art are a place that wealthy people are returning to place money'. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=37 Mon, 9 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT The market is slowly awakening from the long summer. Galleries are all open again and good exhibitions will start at the end of the month, although the real auction season doesn't start until mid October. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=36 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT Despite prophesies, starting in the summer of 2008, of its impending demise, the art market is certainly still 'alive', although for sure not as 'kicking' as it was 18 months ago. The results of the New York auctions in May were solid, and improved in the London sales in late June when over 80% sold in the Impressionist and Modern sales, and in the Contemporary sales an astonishing 86% sold by lot at Christies and 97% at Sotheby's. http://www.fineartbrokers.com/pages/news/index.asp?NewsID=32 Mon, 8 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT
