We no longer do the same job” was the comment from a dealer speaking about the African art sales that took place in Paris- the capital market for tribal arts- days after the auctions from Christie’s, December 13,2011 and the one at Sotheby’s on the 14th.  Why did he say this?

    I would appreciate it if you would translate the euro prices in your e-mails to usa dollars.  your euro prices mean nothing to me, and i assume hundreds of others who receive your e-mails.

    My answer

    I am sorry I live in europe, but for your convenience I have put on my site a
    euro to dollar converter here:

    At the moment of writing You just need to multiply by 1.3 at this moment to have
    your price in Dollars

    1,000.00 EUR = 1,302.71 USD
    Euro   US Dollar
    1 EUR = 1.30271 USD   1 USD = 0.767630 EUR

    Hope this helps

     

     

  2. Colten Rowland Thank you for sharing David. Wonderful.

    Dave Cassera yes thank you David, thanks for clarifying why Christies sucks, Happy Holidays!

    Dave Cassera let me clarify my comment, its not Christies that sucks its the mentality of auction buyers. the “I can spend more then you”, attitude. Sotheby’s and Christies are confusing everyone.

    But then as I am sure you are all aware, a new animal has arrived in the tribal art jungle.The contemporary art buyer used to spending multi thousands on a canvas.These people have suddenly discovered that for considerably less you can buy something of real value , connected to real art and that will not be trashed by a sudden change of fashion. Someone please explain how Jeff Koons – and the rest of the yuppie fleecing mob – managed to shake down the gullible ‘art buyers’…

    Dave Cassera what’s really disappointing is that no one cares about the art…

    Dea Militello Giunchi Thanks David Norden
