Consignor Spotting at Christie's

November 2, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Carol Vogel uses the Sunday  New York Times to out some sellers in the New York sales of Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary art:

  • Mr. Brant is also selling a Warhol. “Tunafish Disaster,” a 1963 painting from the “Death and Disaster Series,” is being offered at Christie’s on Nov. 10 with an estimate of $6 million to $8 million. In addition Mr. Brant is selling a 1983 six-panel painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat, “Brother Sausage.” Christie’s experts believe it could bring $9 million to $12 million.
  • There is dealer property too, like Mondrian’s “Composition II, With Red, 1926” that other dealers say is from the Nahmads, a family that runs galleries in London and New York. They bought the abstract canvas at Christie’s in London five years ago for $2.9 million and are now hoping to get $4.5 million to $6.5 million.
