Manet to Middle Eastern Museum?

June 25, 2010 by Marion Maneker

The Economist usually has good coverage of the art market. This week’s report on the Impressionist and Modern sales in London identifies the buyer of the Manet self portrait as a Middle Eastern museum.

Unfortunately, the rest of the report contains some errors that sap the magazine of any authority on the subject:

The Bond Street auctioneer drew a stellar crowd that included Laurence Graff, a British jeweller specialising in huge diamonds, and Larry Gagosian, an influential New York art dealer who rarely appears in person at auctions.“

Stooping, Not Conquering (The Economist)
