The Wall Street Journal reports that the art market may be on the mend. The fall art sales at Christie's and Sotheby's showed recovery in certain markets. Above is Picasso's "Bust D'Homme," which sold for $10.3 million, although the estimate was $12 million. The U.S. art market appears to be on the mend.

I’m about two weeks shy from making my way out to Colorado for about five months to go snowboarding every day (and work) so it’s only right that I post this crazy collaboration from Burton Snowboards, Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. “The board itself is once again NASA-grade tech, dipped in $1200 worth of [...]
After discovering the new black-light effective denim and spending our morning rocking the hits of Cole & Clivilles, we definitely feel a way about this video for Redlight’s jungle-y “Feels So Good.” Dancers in ’90s rave masks (JabbaWockeez?), a diva who looks like Basquiat-era Madonna, a Brit source blog declaring, “It’s official: rave is back!” [...]...
Bottom line on the Christie's and Sotheby's art auctions: no to Basquiat , yesyesyes to Warhol . But is it "a gear-changing sign that the art market is shaking off the recession" really? Or simply rich people looking for a safe place to put their cash during a still-very-much-in-progress cluster? Either way, the big winner seems to be "a Connecticut woman named Cathy Naso, who once worked...

That's what's tough about the art market right now. There are signs of recovery, and it can be tempting to push for higher prices. Unfortunately, it's easy to get a bit excited. The painting had the highest estimate...
In an auction in which major names in postwar and contemporary art were solid sellers, only one work — a 1996 painting by the Scottish artist Peter Doig — broke the $10 million barrier.
Conrad Bo General background to my art My paintings are mostly executed in a style, concept or movement called Superstroke. Superstroke as an idea or movement was conceived by me as a reaction to the impact that Superflat has on contemporary art today. Superflat is one of the few art movements started in the last decade, which is taking contemporary art forward. To understand Superstroke, the viewer...
