Sometimes the auctioneer calls out the bids very quickly, and other times he goes rather more slowly. At Christies New York Impressionist and modern sale yesterday evening -- which totaled $140.7 million for 51 lots sold out of 82 offered (a large sale), or 62 percent -- the fast bids were bad news as often as not.Take lot 18, for example, the famous Petite danseuse bronze by Edgar Degas, which carried a $35 million presale high estimate, and...more
Sothebys New York evening sale of Impressionist and modern art on Nov. 2, 2011, totaled $199.8 million, with 57 of the 70 lots selling, or more than 81 percent. The art market is alive and kicking, said Sothebys expert Simon Shaw with visible relief. The giddy mood -- it was a long sale -- extended to stentorian auctioneer Tobias Meyer, who said he could feel the market rallying.The reference was to the near-disastrous sale the night before at Christies, which saw more than 30 lots pass, for a total of $140.7 million. Sothebys $198.8 million was in the middle of the presale estimate, and is up from the firms $170.5 million total in the May sales. Outside, a noisy picket line of locked-out art handlers and supporters from Occupy Wall Street blew whistles and stadium horns. Inside, the crowd found printed apologies on their chairs, with an earnest wish that the strike would soon be settled. Despite its triumphs, the auction was tedious to sit through -- failure is more amusing -- and many left long before it ended. Those who departed early missed the sales silliest lot, Marc Chagalls comical painting of a large red rooster, Souvenir of Summer (1965), which sold for $2,098,500.But...more

Richard Prince may have finally found the arguments he needs to prevail in the controversial copyright case hes been fighting since 2008. A 92-page appeal filed by law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner on Oct. 26, 2011, makes a strong case that circuit court judge Deborah Batts ruled against the appropriation artist -- and in favor of French photographer Patrick Cariou -- in error this past March. The appeal refutes Carious claim that when Prince appropriated portraits from his book Yes, Rasta for a series of 30 collage-paintings titled Canal Zone, it harmed Carious market and infringed on his copyright."Canal Zone" represents "a case of the transformative use of existing 'raw material' to create 'new information, new esthetics, new insights and understanding'," the brief claims in its introduction.Princes attorneys, Jonathan Schiller, Josh Schiller and George Carpinello, frequently cite the 2005 copyright case Andrea Blanch v. Jeff Koons, in which the advertising photographer sued Koons -- and lost -- after the artist used one of her images of a woman's leg as source material for his painting Niagara (2000). In that case, the judge decided that Koons purposes in using Blanchs image...more
