They’re trying to drive up the value. They’re worried it won’t hit estimate

@@zissou6928 i dont think so... if they want to see this painting, they settle private appointment and probably consults whole process with their art advisors. I highly doubt that they have time to sit and listen to lectures. please notice, that during major auctions, the biggest bets are placed over the phone. the audience is just... audience

Driving up the price is their job. Ours is to listen critically
