In the times when art isn’t particularly selling, Sotheby’s is able to keep that smile on its face. Reason? Well, it seems that this is the only art auction house that isn’t particularly affected by the fall in the art market. We just heard that the house has got its hands on spectacular pieces crafted by Alberto Giacometti and Andy Warhol for its next month’s sales.
Reportedly, we have been hearing that collectors are holding on to their artefacts in this unfavorable economic atmosphere. The hope is for a recovery that will translate into big bucks for them. That said, we are quite impressed by Sotheby’s ability to nab such tremendous pieces.

The trace of Michael Jackson will never fade out from this world. Well, millions of his fans have pulled up their socks to find ways to celebrate his memory. And money is the least thing on their minds, even during the financial hard times. If you too fall in this category we are talking about then you should perhaps visit the auction in New York that has a unique portrait of the megastar.
Painted by Andy Warhol, this portrait is a green-hued homahe to the Thriller-era of the famous singer. And before this work of art can fetch the destined millions, it must sit pretty on display from 6th August at London’s British Music Experience, which was the venue of MJ’s famous comback that unfortunately never happened.
