Catalogs New York auction Christie's and Sotheby's this November as never rich in the top lots. Estimeyty tens of millions of dollars are no longer an exception but almost the rule. Remains to be seen whether there will be a sufficient number of millionaires to purchase the fabric in such rates. We look forward to November. And yet - the announcement of two more of the top lots of the New York trading.

the auction of Impressionist and Modern Sotheby's November 5 will be "Still Life with Tulips" by Pablo Picasso - another symbol of love, the great cubist to Marie-Therese Walter. Only this time, it captures not her personally, and her bust, which he himself had carved. Painter of still life composition added a bouquet of tulips. The work was written at a time when Picasso and Marie-Therese has kept their relationship a secret (the artist was married to the ballerina Olga Khokhlova). Lovers secretly met at the castle Buazhelu near Gisors. This spacious family house Picasso sculpted busts his blond muse and wrote her portraits. "Still life with tulips," he wrote in March 1932, shortly before his major retrospective in Paris and Zurich. It was on this show for the first time his wife Olga saw numerous pictures of some blonde woman and guessed her husband's extramarital affair. "Still Life with Tulips" is estimated at 35-50 million dollars. Work for the last time visited the art market in 2000 when it changed hands for 28.6 million dollars.

But Christie's delight fans of pop art Andy Warhol's next creation. The catalog auction of contemporary and postwar art November 14 included the work of "Statue of Liberty" with an estimate of $ 35 million. It is the product of a unique series of silk-screen printing Warhol Effect of three-dimensional images - the only one of the cycle in 1962, which is still in private hands. The other two with three-dimensional effect - "Optical car crash" and "Statue of Liberty" smaller format - belong to museum collections of Basel and Pittsburgh.

Warhol achieved effect of three-dimensional perception using multiple prints images with little offset. In this case, the Statue of Liberty prints he made in two colors - red and green. The resulting image is better to look through the special 3D-glasses, which, by the way, just for the sake of this work are attached to the catalog Christie's.

«Statue of Liberty" was preceded by one of the most significant series of Warhol - " death and a car accident. " Warhol opposes the symbol of the American dream that system troubles - car accidents, suicide, electrocution, atomic bombs and dead celebrities. However, the image of the Statue of Liberty replicated on canvas, the artist has made it the same attribute of popular culture, like Coca-Cola, tomato soup and Marilyn.
