The collection of Goya, El Greco, Braque, Bacon, Freud, Brancusi, Modigliani and Picasso should be very special.

The Meadows on the SMU campus continues to impress.


That sounds appealing, if I ever get back to Dallas.

I thought your daughter was going to college here, no?

We will be going to the City this weekend as my wife wants to see the poppy memorial at the Tower before it ends. I will use this as an opportunity to, again, visit the Courtauld. There is an exhibit by Egon Schiele (Secessionist, Klimt's protégé) that has gotten good reviews, as well as a few travelling 'Jack of Diamonds' paintings on display. Russian avant garde has me intrigued after the fantastic Malevich exhibit we saw a few weeks ago. I saw, in his paintings, that he clearly influence other artists, imo.

Cool very nice. I'm a huge fan of Egon Schiele


Schiele, one of the great expressionist without debate, and I'm also a longtime fan.

I enjoyed a major exhibit of his in Munich, and have always much preferred his work that is completely devoid of Klimt's influence.

Schiele was clearly a very disturbed soul which is often obvious in his work. I look forward to hearing your thoughts after seeing the exhibit.

i want to ask people for some suggestions:

my folks really like paintings of ballroom dancing.

either pencil/pen sketches or oil on canvas paintings.

can anyone recommend or /how to find a good artist that's reasonably priced? reasonably being say under 1k$ for a 36x48 or a 30x40.


Don't know where to look for something similar but my mother in law has a few costume sketches (what a costume designer would do prior to a movie and actually making the clothing) of couples dancing. Some period piece (think Gone with the Wind type, no idea what movie it actually was). Pencil sketch and then hand coloured. Different and interesting.

I'm sure there are auctions centered around those types of things and I doubt they would be hugely expensive most of the time.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what to make of it all. The exhibit, The Radical Nude, is made up entirely of nudes, about 35 paintings in all; inventive....sure, stark..you bet, dark...perversely so, pornographic...'in your faces, f#%kers' I seemed to be hearing him say.

For my naivity, being the first time I have seen such a large number of his paintings at one time, it perhaps might have been more...oh, I don't know...enlightening, maybe?....if other than his nudes were shown along side these. There were some stunners, clever use of form, abbreviated coloring to great effect...but at least one I simply could have done without, the prepubescent girl, spread eagled. I'm the richer for going, though, and look forward to reading the book I bought on him.

I cannot say enough about the Courtauld...there were some Oskar Kokoschka colored lithos and two landscapes rotated into the permanent collection to compliment this exhibit, as well as a series of recent works by Jasper Johns (based on a photo of Lucian Freud), on loan, previously shown at the MoMA. The Russian 'Jack of Diamonds' display seemed rather pedestrian after all of that.

Jabe, Balthus took it to an entire new level in my opinion.

The article in the December AD about the Chicago apartment is breathtaking. The mix of art in the apartment is awesome. If you have the means, this is the way to do it. If only I could get a visit when we are up their next month.

Justin, are you telling me you would enjoy living vertically in Chicago having to endure the views out of your curtain wall everyday, plus seeing and living with works by Mitchell, Calder, Tansey, Koons, Richter, Picasso, Fontana, Twombly, Judd, Lichtenstein and Rothko on a daily basis?

W+A,

I would without a doubt live vertically in Chicago with all those artists. Whoever has this place knows what matters in life. This apartment with a 5K bottle cellar filled with gems and I will have MANY CDP gatherings.

Justin, you and me both!

People kid us all the time that the art in our home is worth more than our house. Just one of the pieces in this place is worth far more than the fantastic condo. Cool

As I recently said, the overheated art market remains at an all-time high.

Christie's broke an all-time sales mark of $852.9M this week at auction. Eleven artist were sold at personal record highs. Modern ( what is left) and contemporary art auctions like this greatly impact the pricing of art priced in the $10K - $100K market as well. Frown

We are considering a work by Ed Moses. One of our art consultants brought to our attention that the last several pieces we have bought are from artist all well into their 80's. We were asked if we are hedging our purchases. Big Grin

Seen lots of Moses' work around LA. He's a lesser known LA hero. Of course if I had a brain I would have bought something when we first enjoyed him about 20 years ago.

W&A - Have you been to William Siegal Gallery in Santa Fe? It has pre-Columbian and modern art. We played golf with the owner (Bill) yesterday.


TT, I know it well. A very fine gallery.

Their gallery is located in the railyard district which is where my favorite Santa Fe galleries are located ( Zane Bennett & Charlotte Jackson & others) and is within walking distance from our home.
