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

Prestigious collection of 140 lots of various origins: Europe (France essentially), Iran as well as India (significantly), and to a lessor extent Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, China. 30 lots are estimated above 50 000 $'s. 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).

Wed. Oct. 24 2012	American and European Fine Art	Shannon's	Milford, Connecticut

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.
