My first post focuses on a recent visit to Sotheby's, the auction house, and their exhibition for their upcoming contemporary art auction. These auction exhibitions are like taking an art class with the masters or walking through your own private museum. No matter the auction, the works are varied, inspired, exciting, and often exhibited publicly one time only. With so many pieces to see at this exhibition, I have chosen to post below just a few details from select artworks from some of my favorite artists:
John Chamberlain - detail
Robert Rauschenberg-detail
Christo - detail
Wang Qingsong- detail
Jean-Michel Basquiat - detail
Joseph Cornell - detail
Robert Rauschenberg-detail

Awesome, Seth! Whenever someone writes a post from NYC like this, I feel like I live on another planet- I love NY! Thanks for this! (PS- miss your posts!)
There is some beautiful artwork here. Of course, the nature themed pieces are my favourites. Nice to see you back.
ah---Rauschenberg. sigh.
This art tour is inspiring. I'm glad you took time for yourself. It's funny that we were both gone for the same week! I'm trying to catch up on swaps and blogs, but the office has me nutty. I'm glad to see your latest entries; they are beautiful, as usual.
Thank you for sharing these!!! I now have a chance to see inside a museum I may never visit! Oh and the art is magnificent! I will go over these again and again... Roxanne
Hi Seth! SO glad to see your latest posts... these snippets of your art tour #1 are awesome... I'm really glad I clicked on each of them to see them up close... the detail is amazing! I'd have a really hard time picking my fav, but I think I like the orange/red piece, the Rauschenberg. Loving this tour, thank you for sharing it with us! xoxo, K.
