Paintings by 20th century artists from Bali, some quite recent though: mostly acrylic on canvass, but also pastel on paper, ink on paper or acrylic on paper. Not really an upscale auction in Western monetary terms, but this art is so different and - one dare say - so specific. Among the less than 60 lots, there are ten estimated above 5000 US$'s. Two outstanding names Sena, Ida Bagus PuTu and Sadia, I Wayan are represented by several works. |
Sun. Oct 21 2012 | Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary Art | Pillon | Versailles |

For this Parisian auction house, some values appear staggering: multiple works by Pierre-Auguste RENOIR or Kees VAN DONGEN carry multi-million $'s estimates and so do a Pablo PICASSO and a Raoul DUFY. A Maurice VLAMINCK and a Fernando BOTERO are over 100 000. Several contemporary Indian or Mid-Eastern pieces are within this range (thus reaching or exceeding Jean DUBUFFET's levels): Amish KAPOOR, Maqbool Fida HUSAIN, Sakti BURMAN, Farhad MOSHIRI (Iranian), Paul GUIRAGOSSIAN (Lebanese). |

Sat. Oct. 27 2012 | Contemporary Paintings | Granville | Saint-Pair-Sur-Mer France |
This otherwise modest sale is interesting because it includes a number of works by Francois BOUCHEIX, a French (still active) surrealist painter significantly appreciated around the world; they are either oils on canvass, or oils and acrylic on canvass, or just acrylic on canvass. These lots are estimated between 4 000 and 14 000 Euros, but are likely to reach much higher amounts. - For access to the catalog: This email address is being protected from spambots.
