How to use

Every weekend, I publish my review of future auction sales on the blog ArtHitParade , under the title ddmm Preview, where dd is the day and mm the month.
I then split this review into the groups of this network, as comments.
When the result is known, I insert it in bold in the same article ddmm Preview on ArtHitParade.

Each day, I select a subject, which I detail in the discussions of the appropriate group of this network.
When the result is known, I record it as a comment to its discussion on this network.

Looking deep into my column you appreciate that Bonhams is the only auction house to have some humour. Their latest find, for sale in London on October 15, is a Roman marble that looks exactly like Elvis Presley.

Lot 221 of the sale of the Credit Municipal de Paris on June 26 is a red-figure crater from Attica 42 cm high, 2,450 years old (80 K €).

Auction tracking on ArtHitParade :

(0903) Christie's announced for June 4 in New York, a Roman porphyry statue. Despite being photographed, we must await further details to comment. Let's say that through regular reading of La Gazette de l'Hotel Drouot, we know that porphyry items of all countries and of all ages take substantial prices.

(1304) The 30 cm high Cycladic male idol in marble that Sotheby's sell in New York on June 5 is expected to be an exceptional piece, because we do not usually advance an estimate of 1.2 million $ on this type of subject . Wait for details.
