Who Stole My Troll?
Having expressed my eager anticipation of the epic Battle of the Trolls at Sotheby's and Christie's dueling contemporary auctions, CultureGrrl is sad to report that Christie's version of Jeff Koons' "Cape Codder Troll" has beat a hasty retreat: My recent perusal of Christie's website revealed that Lot 71, estimated at $400,000-600,000 (compared to Sotheby's price last night of $300,000 for another troll from the same edition) has been withdrawn from tonight's sale.
I'll just have to troll for something else to write about.
