Auction tracking on ArtHitParade :
(0302) The only known manuscript of the Manifesto of Surrealism, in 21 pages, is the most important among nine manuscripts of Breton to be sold by Sotheby's Paris on May 20. Breton has not yet joined Rimbaud and Baudelaire in the top people of literary memorabilia auction, but the estimate given by Sotheby's (300 K€, high estimate 500 K€) is low if it is really unique. "Poisson soluble", a 59 page experiment of automatic writing contemporary of the Manifesto, is estimated 200 K€. The source is impeccable: Breton's wife.
(1304) At Sotheby's in New York on June 19, Newton's Principia (1687, first edition, 100K$) and the manuscript by Conan Doyle of one of the most famous Sherlock Holmes short stories (13 pages, 150 K$)
(2704) On May 28 at Lempertz in Cologne, lot 47 is Daphnis et Chloé in two volumes illustrated of 42 lithographs of Chagall (200 K€).
