About the painting (by Elaine Dick):

I like very much the picture that shows the swamp. It remind me CSI Miami (a TV show).

It's beautiful and dangerous at the same time, like a big fire or a tsunami, when you watch them at a TV set.

Maybe it's beautiful because of the danger but I'm not very sure about this.

The swamp at twilight where I can feel the absence of noise, the dirty air, the bad feeling beyond the green waters and the fetidness is hard.

I know that if I stay watching for some minutes I can discover a dead person, a killer trying to hide himself, a cry of help from a wounded animal or a child alone and terrified.

This picture is very alive and it speaks to me. I'm not sure if I like that speech.

Elaine Dick.

Brazilian art collector Lily Safra said to be Giacometti sculpture buyer

noreply@blogger.com (Regia Marinho) — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 03:34:00 +0000

"Walking Man" by Alberto Giacometti.

The sculpture was in the collection of Dresdner Bank AG. Brazilian London-based billionaire Lily Safra is the buyer of the Alberto Giacometti sculpture that fetched a record 65 million pounds (then $103.4 million) at an auction in London on Feb. 3, 2010 Source: Sotheby's via Bloomberg

Lily Safra, the daughter of Czech father who migrated to Brazil in the early twentieth century, was born in Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul.

Lily Watkins Cohen Monteverde Bendahan Safra (Lily Watkins of birth) is a wealthy philanthropist. She has acquired, after three marriages, a considerable fortune, which makes it the 620 ° richest person in the world, according to Forbes in 2005.

Widow of billionaire banker Edmond Safra is a philanthropist and socialite in New York and London, with homes in Geneva and Monaco.

What a difference a day makes? New York Art Auctions

noreply@blogger.com (Regia Marinho) — Thu, 07 May 2009 22:06:00 +0000

Sotheby’s failed to sell its top Picasso and Giacometti at its NY Modern art auction.
And just 1 night later Christie’s sold Picasso's "Mousquetaire a la pipe" to a bidder in the room for $14.6 million. Christie's had sold the same work 5 years ago for $7.2 million.
At Christie's auction 42 percent of the buyers were from the United States and 44.7 percent were European, a group that includes Russians.

Ukrainian Art + Russian Art

noreply@blogger.com (Regia Marinho) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 14:06:00 +0000

Sotheby’s will make a sub-sale of Ukrainian Contemporary art within its London Russian Contemporary art auction week.

With wealthy Russian buyers no longer dropping millions of dollars on art since the economy soured in the fall, Sotheby’s is hoping to entice Ukrainian collectors who are willing to shop at a more modest level.

For the first time the auction house will be adding examples of contemporary Ukrainian art to its contemporary Russian art auction in London on June 9. Estimates for the works range from around $3,000 to about $36,000. To promote the sale it will be showing 19 highlights at the Ukrainian House in Kiev on May 20 and 21. from Inside Art NYTimes

An Art Fund

noreply@blogger.com (Regia Marinho) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 04:15:00 +0000

Castlestone Management’s recently announced that an art fund that will be open to investors with as little as $10,000 to allocate toward art as an asset class.

Angus Murray, Castlestone’s managing principal. Art, for Mr. Murray, is another real asset, one that has been under-utilized by finance professionals.

Murray will seek to create a diversified collection of museum-quality modern art from a variety of genres, including: impressionist, post-war, contemporary, sculpture, urban art and photography.

The interview Angus Murray did with Bloomberg UK last Friday is below minus the opening section dealing with oil and commodities prices

Interview with Angus Murray

John Dawson I’m now joined by Angus Murray, the founder of Castlestone Management which now has $700m in assets. Angus joining the managers, the Aliquot Active Commodity Index Fund. [ . . . ]

John Dawson Don’t go away Angus, because contemporary art prices have slumped by half over the past six months. Wealthy buyers are drying up as even the rich and super-rich feel the pinch of this credit crunch. Castlestone Management is looking to capitalise on that and is setting up a fund to snap up art bargains from Banksy to Damien Hurst. The goal is to hold investments over a longer timeframe, in this case eight years. The fund will launch at the end of May and has raised so far $25m, that’s so far. Now back to the man behind that, of course, Angus Murray, again a busy man of course, you’ve got commodities in one hand and art in the other hand. What do you prefer, Angus, where’s your heart?

Angus Murray Yeah, but they’re both real assets. They’re the both the same underlying actual asset. Art is an irreplaceable, unleveraged real asset, gold is an unleveraged real asset. They’re both rising because the value of money, or they both will rise because the value of money is going to fall. You can’t pump this much money into the economies as we have done, not only recently but in the last 20 years, and not have the value of money depreciate. So art, like most other asset classes, has declined, you said by about 50%, we would have thought by 30-34% or thereabouts.

John Dawson Up to 50%.

Angus Murray Yeah, okay, up to 50%, that would be fair. Particularly in contemporary art, perhaps post-war
and impressionist not the same degree. We hope to complement the financial skills that Castlestone Management has on risk management and asset management with those of hiring people in the art world that really understand art in detail. If we then combined art as an asset class, hold it over a long period of time, it should perform in line with all other real assets.

John Dawson People often read the papers, etc, and art is the next bubble to burst because some of these
paintings, for example, are being sold for exorbitant prices. Is that a fair thing to say? Because some of these, it really is so high in this credit crunch, it doesn’t seem realistic for it to last any longer.

Angus Murray Well let’s assume that it’s already come down, contemporary maybe by 50%, impressionist by
30%, that’s a pretty big break already.

John Dawson Sure.

Angus Murray In line with say developed equity markets around the world, emerging markets crashed a little
bit further than that, commodities came down a little fast and maybe because of the dollar’s appreciation which pushed commodities even down further. So I would indicate that like gold having come from $1,000 an ounce to $700 and then bouncing, art has probably done or is doing the same type of thing. It will just take maybe the next six to twelve months to see those prices begin to rise. But nearly every other major asset class has now shifted up by 30%, and art has yet to do that. So it’s probably an asset class that is trailing behind the economics of expectation which we get factored into equities, and art will begin to do that over the next six to twelve months.

John Dawson So you launch this fund end of May, minimum investment starts at $10,000 or £10,000, which one is it?

Angus Murray It depends on which currency you’re investing in.

John Dawson That’s a bit unfair on the pound isn’t it?

Angus Murray But it’s about the same. It’s about the same these days. We started the fund …

John Dawson What’s the return projection that you have?

Angus Murray If the world has been printing money since the 1970s at about 7% per annum, I’d say 7% per annum, it’s just a real asset. We actually started the fund itself back in November 2007 and have since then purchased, and will purchase US$25m worth of art. I couldn’t ask you to put in £10,000 and, which you’d have to do through a professional financial adviser.

John Dawson You could, but I wouldn’t have it to give you to you!

Angus Murray You would need to, when the money comes in you would need to have an already fully diversified art portfolio. So we had to start a fund with a fully diversified portfolio already, hence why the requirement was to start with $25m of art, which will be May 31st, so that if you do decide to invest you have a diversified portfolio.

John Dawson How much attraction have you had from clients, new clients?

Angus Murray There’s been a lot of what I would say interest. Some of it I’m sure is very sincere.

John Dawson Interest or, okay, right, go on.

Angus Murray Some of it I think is sincere, people who genuinely understand and believe in the asset class,
some of the people will probably be it’s more about novelty and general interest. What we’re trying to do though is to buy an hold the art. I believe it would be statistically improbable that I could buy and sell art given how much it costs to buy and sell it, and beat an index, a little bit like an ETF almost always beats and actively managed manager because of the cost of trading and human error, so we really want to buy the asset, hold it over eight years and then sell the asset very well. Therefore it should as a real asset outperform.

John Dawson Thank you very much indeed. Good luck with the fund.

Angus Murray Thank you.

John Dawson Launching a fund in this market is always quite hard but good luck with that. Angus Murray there, from Castlestone Management.

Optimism at Tefaf Art Fair in Europe

noreply@blogger.com (Regia Marinho) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 21:29:00 +0000

...until 22 March at the world's largest art fair, held in the Dutch town of Maastricht,
Tefaf art fair near the Netherlands' border with Belgium. http://www.tefaf.com/

The 22nd European Fine Art Fair will host art and antique dealers, mostly from Paris, London and New York, exhibiting their finest works to an expected 70,000 visitors.

Paintings, furniture, jewelry, sculpture, books and china will all be shown in a 30,000-square-meter area, the size of six football fields.

New York dealer Christophe Van de Weghe had a thrilling start to his Maastricht debut after London jewelry magnate Laurence Graff, who also had a booth here, bought Jean-Michel Basquiat's Untitled (The Black Athlete) from 1982 for $4.5 million. [from artinfo]

Tefaf is one of the most influential of art and antiques fairs and this attracts collectors and museum curators from around the globe.
You still have time to go...

Leaving Some Squiggle Room - Regia Marinho

Article by Erin Roll of Glen Ridge Voice about artist Regia Marinho.

"The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line, but the more interesting and fulfilling distance is usually a squiggly line. Just ask local artist Regia Marinho."

"Some of her drawings contain fine lines and tiny details. Other times she uses broad, forceful, and angry-looking brushstrokes. Some pieces are full of color, while others have colorful dots placed here and there..."

noreply@blogger.com (Regia Marinho) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:38:00 +0000

What color most improves brain performance and creativity?
Choose what it's right to you.

RED:
Red boosted performance on detail-oriented tasks such as memory retrieval and proofreading by as much as 31 per cent compared to blue.
Many newsroom walls at The New York Times are bright tomato-soup red. The newspaper’s facilities department says there are no blue rooms in the place. [from NYTimes]
Red can make people’s work more accurate.

BLUE:
For a Creativity boost, go hang out in a blue room.
Blue room is also for a brainstorming session for a new product or coming up with a new solution for something...

Blue wall with blue painting is a winner!

His Degas sculpture is expected to fetch between 9 million pounds and 12 million pounds at today’s Sotheby’s sale in London, the auction house said. [from bloomberg]

He bought the Edgar Degas sculpture La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans in 2004.
The purchase was made at Sotheby's and cost him more than £5m.
Madejski promptly loaned the bronze to the Royal Academy for display in the Fine Rooms at Burlington House.

Is it not too much for these days?

What about the living artists?
You rich art buyer can find tons of wonderful artworks for $13 Million. Just go online buy what you love and feel good about it.

MoMA and Jerry Salz, the Art Critic

noreply@blogger.com (Regia Marinho) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:33:00 +0000

How can great museums cope with hard times? By pulling great work out of the attic.
Art critic Jerry Salz wants MoMA to use the recession as an opportunity to show more art.
And change the way we look at modernity and its after effects.

MoMA inarguably possesses the greatest collection of modern art in the world. It is our Garden of Eden, the place we go to visit the ancestors. Yet after spending three-quarters of a billion dollars in 2004 for its spiffy new building MoMA inexplicably, maybe unforgivably, failed to provide enough room to let that collection soar, or even to tell the whole wild story of modernism. And, a few years later, some say that garden—our garden—is wilting, even that its dying. Since it is unlikely that MoMA will take this open moment to present art history as the tremendous spaghetti-like mix that it really is, staying wedded to its diagrammatic Old Testament version of modern art that runs from Cubism to Surrealism, the museum could think about shaking up the fourth floor. MoMA could dismantle the entire space and hang only Postminimal art or Abstract Expressionism for a year. Something. Anything to inject life into the ossifying body. [from nymag.com]

How can great artists cope with hard times?
By pulling great work out of the attic and sell on eBay. And use twitter, and youtube, and blog, and website and ...
