Phillips de Pury-Latin American Art

Nicholas Murray-frida Kahlo on a bench

If you want to learn more about the value of art auctions can be a great resource.  If you’ve never been to one, Phillips de Pury & Co is a good place to get started.  Their upcoming auction this Saturday October 3rd features contemporary art, design and photographs from Latin America.

The auction house is located in the Meat Packing district right by the High Line Park at 420 West 15th Street.  Even if you can’t afford to buy anything it is great fun to go to the preview, pick out a few pieces that you like and then look up what they sold for when the results are published a few days later.  Go for a walk in the park, have lunch and make an afternoon of it.

The fun thing about art is that you really can’t be ‘wrong’.  It is very subjective.  The most important thing is that you like it because you will be living with it, not your friend (husband) the critic.

These are a few of the images that caught my eye but there are plenty more for all tastes to enjoy.
