I was the handyman in her building for almost 5 years. Handled all the Monet's. Had to take my shoes off when entering her place.

[@nancythomas1830]

The auctioneer was excellent. Had me on the edge of my seat throughout the auction. Well done sir.

[@studioandydna]

Van Gogh's painting is magnificent and impressive. It has a great and impressive history. A masterpiece like no other. A true artist, painter and philosopher.

[@andrewkensington7403]

This collection is so insane it’s hard to believe it was owned by one family!

[@themorningstar....5419]

This was so exciting! I love it! And I loved the auctioneer!!

[@Zzra8]

This is beautiful to watch

[@timcrompton7220]

Best painting by a long way is , The sugar shack, brilliant work by Ernie Barnes

[@davidhunternyc1]

The first red Rothko is breathtaking. The Blinky Palermo was stunning too. Wow.

[@davidwilliams7935]

I wish they would just give a little more images of the art. I know they do a lot of it in the previews but still a better view during the bidding wouldn't hurt.

[@Befevered]

I agree. The zoom ins are nice to see the textures but it would be nice to see the full pieces more.

[@paco1443]

True

[@KindellArmstrong]

Only 10 million for full set of 115 million year old dinosaur bones.. what a deal🎉

[@toninavarro1607]

great collection

[@richardcadoret6956]

Please give me the piece name and orchestra performing the opening theme of the program! So moody and dramatic! Fabulous! Thank you!

[@OhYeahCh]

Gahhhh Damn I gotta google the lots between auction to see em! Lol

[@jacekbeck1395]

What's the song (classical bond-like theme) in the very beginning of the stream?

[@JACOBJMCNAUGHTON]

All this stuff should be in a museum

[@mrb8993]

well similar (and better) stuff is pal

[@appletongallery]

The museums display about 5% of their museum collections. The other 95% is in storage vaults.

[@bugeye8749]

Agreed

[@lindamon5101]

The worlds museum, an underground walking path 60° yr round with a permanent parking garage.

[@andrewkensington7403]

How could the estimate be so far off on the Sugar Shack painting

[@timcrompton7220]

It was the best painting in the saleroom, fantastic,

[@YakshaNZ]

you know why

[@goldenboy009]

It wasn’t off, They had a bid that wanted it no matter what.

[@manfred1795]

Who bought the Ernie Barnes The Sugar Shack?

[@waidedw]

According to The Art Newspaper, Bill Perkins from Austin, TX

[@plasticsacha]

I saw this live last night, it was a tense bidding session between two guys. The guy that won was so happy.

[@lindamon5101]

Good ?

[@Befevered]

@@lindamon5101 There was a rare in-person bidding war between two people. It seems like so many sales are phones and the in-person audience are just spectators these days. It was quite interesting to watch two people bid against each other in the room.

[@AncientBells]

Priceless!

[@andrewkostelnyk272]

Nice introduction music -what is it -who s the composer?

[@gazitore]

Ballerina - Yehezkel Raz

[@andrewkostelnyk272]

@@gazitore Thanks Ore -cheers!

[@Befevered]

@@gazitore Thank you! I’ve now found him on Apple Music and am enjoying more of his works. I also bought the song Ballerina as a ringtone for my iPhone. It’s going to be a lovely sound when I get calls. Cheers!

[@allangillis3692]

I'm betting that Tyler Perry bought the Shack.

[@911Sachie]

Nope Bill Perkins

[@timothykozlowski2945]

Attractive women on those phones

[@notnek202]

Men too 🙃😉

[@cuongngoxuan8373]

Quá tuyệt

[@xherreraoc]

Why is people on the phone?

[@ThinkerHaistTV]

Talking to the advisors.

[@xherreraoc]

@@ThinkerHaistTV thank you! That's interesting as I would think that advisors have a fixed maximum number in mind. People in the middle of the room are just attending or staff or lot owners?

[@Befevered]

@@xherreraoc They’re taking bids on the phones, another team of staff in other offices can take phone bids, the audience in the room can bid, and they have also have it live on their website where you can bid there as well.

[@ts121084]

1:26:27 “Seminal drip” lol

[@goldencity777]

These people dress like it's 1980's

[@Befevered]

This auctioneer is the least fun one I’ve seen at Christie’s or Sotheby’s in years. All business. No humour. Very dry. He made quite an exciting evening rather boring-which is such a shame.

[@bugeye8749]

Oh please 🙄 Not everything has to entertain u 🙄 Grow up.

[@Befevered]

@@bugeye8749 Riiiight. Because auctions have *nothing* to do with showmanship. 🙄

[@timothykozlowski2945]

The guy at Sotheby's does a great job.

[@Befevered]

@@timothykozlowski2945 He’s got a great sense of humour.

[@timcrompton7220]

So disrespectful on the phone with a mask on, crankshaft springs to mind

[@stevenartstudio3564]

hype art works time

[@mikisatosun4550]

why is this work has too high

[@lamartinezola8507]

it is the demand, not really the work or the value of the work. Remember, wealthy people make money out of the thin air. They can come out with anything: auctioning africans was one of that crazyness. U can make a silly painting, and prince Charles of England happens to like it, and hang in his castle, that piece might cost at least $100.000 now, and more decades later. Bitcoin crazyness is the same almost same concept. I work trade floor in NYC, and those people make money out of thin air
