September 24, 2010 by Marion Maneker

WNYC does its story on the Neuberger sale at Sotheby’s. (You can listen to their piece in the player below.) Or you can simply read Meyer’s running patter:

“There is a very broad spectrum here and it’s smart,” said Tobias Meyer the global chair of contemporary art at Sotheby’s.  “It’s not only market-driven savvy but a there’s a sensibility here that really speaks to me in very a beautiful way.”

Meyer has auctioned numerous works of art, including two by Pablo Picasso that hold the record for the most expensive paintings ever sold at auction. When he first saw this collection, he was impressed.  “I thought ‘OK.  They did look carefully.’”

[…] “It was about buying the art of today,” said Meyer, “buying in a prescient way who will have relevance in the future.”

[…] For Meyer, conducting the auction is his job.  “We are auctioneers,” he said.  “We can’t judge and it is not up to me to say why and how it has been sold.”
