Noted at Bukowski's

A few things worth noting about the results of Bukowski’s Modern Art Auction:

* Lena Cronqvist’s painting The Engagement from 1975 went through the roof, and was sold at more than half a million dollars, almost four times the calling price.

* Ola Billgren’s amazing Sevilla Morning from 1989 sold for double the calling price. Well deserved, in my opinion.

* This painting by Lucio Fontana was expected to break the record for highest selling price for a modern painting in Sweden, but apparently no one would cough up the one million dollars required to buy it.
