BLACK LIVES MATTER! The world is different. The world is having a mini “Oldboy” moment. We always wanted “time”, “time” to pursue hobbies, to exercise, to develop a skill, and now we had “time”.

Jackson Pollock’s 1950 Composition with Red Strokes fetched $55.4 million against an estimate of $50 million to $70 million. “There were a few important opportunities tonight at low estimates.” “Shallow bidding creates opportunities,” said Skarlet Smatana, director of the George Economou Collection in Athens, who was a buyer at the sale but declined to identify what she purchased.
