How come that art pumper, wannabe museum curator, whatever he is, isn't on here posting the latest auction results from Christies? A Monet Sets a Record: $80.4 Million http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/25/arts/design/25auct.html?hp Isnt this a big deal? Where is the Monet = Big Money post? and the correlation to Manhattan real estate prices? This painting is even a little better than that $140 million, chicken scratch Pollock he likes to throw around as an example of the merits of investing in the overpriced, bubble mentality art market. It even comes close to looking like a patch of grass in my old backyard. Did your soon to be bankrupt patrons pull your measly $xx,xxx art consulting fee or grant? Are they too busy dealing with crises in real estate and their stock market portfolios so they didnt give you any money to spend this year at the latest overly hyped, high brow, our sh*t dont st*nk art auction? So you had to stay home and now you don't want to write about it? Looks like its back to waiting tables until you scheme up some other gig. No time for Streeteasy. [less]

notice that you are the only one replying to your own thread, that's because no one cares.
Or................ Even the people of Streeteasy think 80 million is better spent elsewhere. They are not replying because most dont disagree, yet are too afraid to post the same sentiments as I. The silent verdict.
The thread is only 30 minutes old anyway.
The artsy fartsy curator, consultant, whatever he is will reply. When he gets home from waiting tables all night.
The "art dealer" is malraux, who bought the painting himself to hang in his new pad at 15 CPW, now worth $405 million even though it's on the ground floor facing a dumpster, but that's okay because he got it at the insider's price of $150k.
Art Dealer? Oh. You mean he sells prints on Ebay? Or he's one of those street vendors who sell paintings all day up and down the block outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art?
To afford a pad at 15 CPW, you'd have to be a pretty big Ebay PowerSeller or wholesale tons of prints to flea market vendors around the country.
