Speaking of private sales, Christie’s has a new wheeze – a nomadic “sculpture garden” to display works outside real estate developments in New York. The first is close to the firm’s Rockefeller Center headquarters at Madison and 54th Street, where the firm has placed Claes Oldenburg’s huge “Typewriter Eraser” (1976), which is being sold by private treaty. I thought the point of these transactions was confidentiality, but not so here – the piece is being touted very publicly. Christie’s explains that some transactions “we don’t communicate” and others are “open to the public”. The price is also confidential – Alexis Klein of Christie’s assures me this is legal – but hints that it is above $2.2m, which is what the piece fetched when it last sold in 2009.
谈及私人交易,佳士得推出的新举措匠心独运——在纽约各大地产建筑(经常更换展场)外设立 “雕塑园”,以展出相关雕塑作品。首次“雕塑园”活动就设在佳士得公司总部大楼外,展出克拉斯•奥尔登堡(Claes Oldenburg)创作于1976年的巨幅雕塑“打字机橡皮擦”(Typewriter Eraser,见右图),如今该作品正通过私下协议进行销售。佳士得公司总部位于麦迪逊(Madison)与54大街(54th Street)交汇处的洛克菲勒中心(Rockefeller Center)内。我觉得这类交易的关键是信息保密,但在此处并非如此——该雕塑作品在大庭广众之下兜售。佳士得解释说有些交易内幕“不能透露”,但有些交易会“向公众公开”。具体成交价也是秘而不宣——佳士得的阿历克斯•克莱恩(Alexis Klein)一再向我保证这合乎法律——但暗示说“打字机橡皮擦”的价位肯定超过220万美元,这是2009年它上次拍卖时的价位。
