RECENT SALE Featured Lot Gilbert & George, Spat on, 1996 Sold for US $83,650 Christie's New York         "We've sold numerous works from our site on artnet! Some have sold to American collectors and some to people abroad. You have a great site and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it." Robert Edelman Anita Friedman Fine Arts New York, New York       "I was beginning to assume that after 3 months artnet was better for secondary art dealing, so called 'blue chip' art, as opposed to contemporary works. However, I am glad we stuck with it, as after 3 months, we attracted several major collectors, with strong private collections of old and new, one of whom has now become a keen collector and admirer of Chris Gollon's work. The collector has thus far spent around $30,000 over the last few months." David Tregunna IAP Fine Art London, England        Read more testimonials

"DREAMS AND CONFLICTS" AT VENICE BIENNALE The art world's most exciting international event, the 50th Venice Biennale, opens to the public June 15-Nov. 2, 2003. Biennale curator Francesco Bonami has given the show the overall theme of "Dreams and Conflicts: The Dictatorship of the Viewer" and divided it into 11 independently curated shows. Many of these exhibitions have titles that seem to take their cue from a sense of global crisis, like "Zone of Urgency," "Fault Lines" and "The Structure of Survival," but Bonami's well-known interest in painting is also evident in "Pittura/ Painting." more     Lynn Chadwick, Short Horn, 1954 Sold for US $138,000 Christie's New York FAAD Demo Artist: Lynn Chadwick New Pricing & Automatic Rollover What Could Be Simpler?
