Gucci Latest Blue Business Attire Dress " he said last year
A feast of modern British The selection has been conservatively estimated to fetch million, but it is not a fire sale. "I wanted to sell a few pictures because they had become too valuable to justify hanging on the office walls," said Chairman Robert Hiscox. "Sotheby's offered me a oneowner sale and persuaded me to beef it up with a few more."The sale will create a stir in the market for British art. Among the works awaiting sale are Lucian Freud's stunningly powerful portrait of his friend, the artist Frank Auerbach, which Sotheby's will estimate at and a sixshelf medicine cabinet constructed by Damien Hirst. But they are only two from a collection littered with quieter gems, which has been lovingly assembled over a period of 30 years.Some of these will be among the best examples of modern British art to come on to the open market in a decade. And unlike many sellers, Hiscox has not pressurised Sotheby's to set high estimates.A rare still life by the Irish painter Roderic O'Conor, Gucci Latest Blue Business Attire Dress dating from his first encounter with Paul Gauguin in 1894 in Pont Aven, was bought in 1988 for The best O'Conors can now exceed Sotheby's will estimate this one at An early selfportait by Mark Gertler, aged 17, before his tortured affair with Dora Carrington, was bought in 1987 for The sale estimate will be And David Bomberg's intensely expressive view of San Miguel, Toledo (1929), which was bought for a record just before the Tate Gallery's retrospective in 1988, is estimated at "I was never in this for the profit," says Hiscox. "I'm happy to let the market decide, and confident that Sotheby's will get the right prices."A youthful 55, Hiscox has long confessed to being an art addict. With the help of private dealer Ivor Braka, he satisfied his craving with museumquality works by the classic British modernists Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson; the St Ives painter Peter Lanyon; and the School of London painters Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud and Leon Kossoff.All will be included in the auction, with the exception of an "abandoned" 1954 painting by Francis Bacon that is to be sold privately. This is a pity, because until this year Bacon's unfinished or abandoned paintings were embargoed from auction by the Marlborough Gallery, who represented his estate.Now that the estate has transferred to the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in New York, these works are to be marketed, and an auction sale would have tested their value in public for the first time.Four years ago, Hiscox shifted his attentions to the younger generation of British artists. "The excitement in the UK's contemporary art world," he said last year, "is stretching me to overdose." He has now bought close to 100 works by Discount Gucci Men's Shoes young British artists, a handful of which he has been persuaded to include in the auction.The works Sotheby's have chosen by Ian Davenport, shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1991, Richard Billingham, winner of the 1997 Citibank Photography Prize;, and Sensation artist Mark Francis represent the first significant tests for these artists on the resale market.But the focus of attention will remain with Freud and Hirst. Can the Freud repeat the performance of the similarly briefcase size portrait of John Deakin that was sold at four times its presale estimate at Christie's last year for And what impact has the million Large Interior, sold in New York this year, had on his market?Has Hirst's reputation been damaged by the failure of his first formaldehyde works at Gucci Latest Black Blue Pencil Dress auction earlier this month? Or will the springtime bidders for the cabinet, God, come back for more?Since it became known within trade circles that Hiscox was considering a clearout, he has been peppered with tempting offers for these and other works in the collection. He stuck with Sotheby's because the catalogue they offered would act as "a permanent celebration of the Hiscox Group Collection". 相关的主题文章：  The North Face Herren Hoodie Windwall Air Effects
