With such a packed catalogue of works to sell in May, its a surprise to find out that Christie’s has still one more announcement for the season. This time it is a collection of mostly contemporary art owned by Thierry Gillier, the founder of Zadig & Voltaire, who is selling 46 lots to benefit Leonardo di Caprio’s Foundation and Oceana’s United States Shark Conservation program. The top two lots, accounting for half of the collection’s $20m value are Rudolf Stingel graffiti work and a late Picasso buste de femme, both estimated around $5m give or take.

Highlights from the collection include works by Maurizio Cattelan, Donald Judd, Richard Serra, Sterling Ruby and Christopher Wool. Steven Parrino’s work gives the collection its title and comes to market just as the artist has received a show in Dallas. Continue Reading

Tobias Meyer's Guide to the Art Market

May 5, 2010 by Marion Maneker

Alexandra Peers interviews Sotheby’s Tobias Meyer in the New York Observer:

Which nationalities buy what?

Chinese collectors are drawn to color. They love mature works of Abstract Expressionism but also key works of American Pop artists-and Richter. It’s the color. Not works on paper, due to climate changes. Russian clients love major trophies.

Who’s undervalued?

Sigmar Polke. He’s a great buy. When you compare his prices to Gerhard Richter, he’s still underpriced. There’s no complete catalogue raisonné of the artist, and when there will be, people will realize how little there is, so it’s an opportunity. That’s what happened with Warhol, and it happens with catalogue raisonnés.Continue Reading
