UPDATE: Here’s tomorrow’s piece, today!
Look for my piece on the state of the art-auction business on the “Leisure & Arts” page of tomorrow’s Wall Street Journal, informed by long interviews with the presidents of both Sotheby’s and Christie’s. I will also update this post with a link to the piece, once it’s up on the website.
Now you know why I’ve been uncharacteristically quiet about the latest news of the auction world (aside from perfunctory reports—here and here—on last week’s evening-sale results).
Come tomorrow, dear reader, the WSJ’s gag rule expires and I’m free to give you all the news that (because of length restrictions) would not fit in print.
This will include such tidbits as my secret connection to the consignment of David Rockefeller‘s Rothko!
