Wayne Thiebaud’s painting titled “Ripley Street Ridge” was bought for $1,022,500 during Christie’s Post-War And Contemporary Art auction in New York on May 14. I for one love this painting a lot. As the lot note describes it well, Thiebaud captures something very uniquely Californian so well on this painting. And it’s more than the obvious, the landscape and lights.

Posted on May 1 - Filed Under Arts | View Comments
It’s still not late, if you are in the neighborhood, go and see one of our favorite contemporary artists’, Zeng Fanzhi’s exhibition at Acquavella Galleries in New York (18 East 79th Street, New York, 10075)
We have been covering Fanzhi’s million-dollar sales events for a while and for some unexplainable reason (other than that he is really good) we love his work a lot.
If you do visit the exhibition, please send us some photos (needless to say, legal photos only)
