The numbers go up and down depending on the quality of the work but Hans Arp continues to be a reliable out-performer at auction. This week in London is no exception. Judd Tully spotted David Nash taking one home:
Jean Arp’s punctured “Tete-Nez,” in oil on cut-out board from 1925-26, sold to New York dealer David Nash of Mitchell-Innes & Nash for £217,250 ($339,779) (est. £100-150,000). “I’m putting together a show of Arp next month in New York,” said Nash as he left the salesroom, “and this will be in the exhibition.”
