Art collectors are waiting with baited breath for this mornings November 10th Bonhams auction in New York.
The sale includes modern figures such as Willem de Kooning, James Rosenquist, Henry Matisse, Lynn Chadwick, Alexander Calder and James Turrell.
Amongst the most prized lots in the sale is a 1965 piece by Willem de Kooning. Titled Woman in a Landscape, the painting is an oil on paper laid on panel. The painting is estimated at $400,000/$600,000.
The company have developed a new ‘Muse’ collection, which ranges from classic Still Life and Landscapes to Religious works and Impressionism, the options are certainly plentiful. Due to the bespoke nature, prices will be given on application based on the chosen painting, sizes and colour options.
We were recently drawn to this rather stylish luxury Riedel decanter for obvious reasons. Titled the Black Tie decanter, it is mouth blown and free blown and formed by the hands without the use of moulds making each one entirely unique.
They are in fact ‘working’ works of art which will help you aerate and open up those fine reds from the cellar. Available for around £360 from the Riedel website.
Limited to just 15 pieces this is no doubt on every Luxury Egg collector’s Christmas list. Retailing for £27,000, you get a base and a body made of Herend porcelain, decorated with the Victoria pattern symbolising the standing that the honour of Queen Victoria’s choice conferred on Herend.
The upper part of the egg is made of 18 carat gold with metal wiring. The parts of the lower neck were shaped individually with precision casting technology
The stones were set individually in crown or bezel settings; the gold band crossing the top and bottom of the egg is decorated with one hundred diamonds; pressing the drop-shaped ruby clasp will open the egg and display the Herend Royal Butterfly, a diamond-bedecked pendant.
If you do you may like to look at this solid gold calendar that has been created by a Japanese jeweller and is on sale for around $300,000 USD. It weights 6kg and thanks to the price of gold coming down recently (due to global demand.. or lack of it!) you can pick it up for an inflation beating price!
