A sad actuality of this event is Tyeb Mehta recent passing on July 2, 2009. You can learn more about him on Wikipedia or through this editorial of the New York Times

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.

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.
