Wright 26 February 2009



I received an email this past Wednesday announcing that the catalogue for Wright's Post War and Contemporary Art sale was available online. For a group of us, the receipt of any auction catalogue signifies that we will be on the phone early the next morning, discussing the sale, page by page, lot by lot.

Two lots that I found particularly interesting in their similarities are a painting by Ludwig Sander and a sculpture by Carl Andre. The Sander was painted in 1961 and has an estimate of $2,000 to $3,000. The Andre was fabricated of aluminum in 2006, and has an estimate of $15,000 to $20,000. Guess which is my pick . . . .
