Sotheby's Important 20th Century Design Auction
Some lovely pieces up for auction. Might pick up one of those nice
Greene & Greene chairs (700-900k) or perhaps some nice Nakashima.... http://www.sothebys.com/app/paddleRe...event_id=28295 |

WTH is Charlotte Perriand, and why are those so expensive for ugly simplistic stuff that looks like I knocked it up one evening to keep my beer off the floor? |

I'll happily take the George Nakashima "A Superb "Minguren I" Dining
Table", but 120K to 190K is a bit high for this payday. |

Many MANY drool-grade pieces in there..and some pure crap. A genuine Mies van der Rohe steel table..... damn, what I wouldn't pay for that...wait...I KNOW what I wouldn't pay for that..G That Greene & Greene stuff looks great...and that Gustav Stickly piece will certainly meet reserve... I have the appreciation and desire... all I need is a few bucks. |
