Art Porn for $12 Million: How Sotheby's Sets Auction Prices
April 20 (Bloomberg) -- Sotheby's will offer a Gerhard Richter painting of naked prostitutes at more than twice the artist's auction record next month in New York. A Mark Rothko picture owned by David Rockefeller is also being pitched at double the painter's previous peak. The No. 2 auction house said the prices reflect what buyers paid for similar works in private transactions. It shows how auctioneers are taking their cue from a few wealthy collectors outside the public salerooms, and increasingly depend on a group of billionaires to keep values escalating and their commissions mounting. Richter, whose collectors include Ronald Lauder and the Guggenheim Museum, used pornographic photographs to create his 1967 black-and-white painting, ``Zwei Spanische Akte (Osterakte),'' now on show at Sotheby's in London.
U2's instruments to help Katrina victims
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The beloved Gibson Les Paul guitar of U2's The Edge fetched $240,000 (120,000 pounds) and Bono's sunglasses pulled in $20,000 at an auction on Saturday to benefit musicians who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. The auction at New York's Hard Rock Cafe by Julien's Auctions raised $2,436,900, including a 20 percent buyer's fee, for Music Rising, a charity set up by The Edge and other musicians after the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricane. It marked the first time such a wide selection of U2 memorabilia was available to collectors, organisers said. Among the more than 200 items sold were Jimi Hendrix's 1966 Red Fender Mustang guitar, which fetched $400,000, former President Bill Clinton's saxophone ($54,000) and a pair of John Lennon's round, blue-tinted sunglasses ($30,000).
