Courttiy Horry N. Abrams, int. The fashionable audience in Sothe by's Art Galleries in London watched art history in the making one evening last summer. - The painting on auction was a large Rubens, his "Adoration of the Magi," being sold by the family of the Duke of Westminster to pay off in heritance taxes. And since it was one of the finest examples of the painter's work not yet in a museum, everyone expected it would bring a high price. But even the best guessers were as tounded as the bidding reached and passed the half-million-dollar mark. Finally, only two bidders were left to fight for possession of the painting, and one dealer offered $770,000. The bid was not topped. The Rubens canvas had just brought the highest price ever paid for a painting at an auction. Though impressive, this is not an ex ceptional case. Rubens is an "old mas ter," but even modern painting brings fabulous sums today. A few months be fore the Rubens sale, Sotheby's auc tioned off "Boy in a Red Vest" by Paul Cezanne, the French postimpressionist who died in 1906. The painting, which had originally been sold by the artist for $340, finally went for $616,000. Apparently Cezanne's paintings of subjects in bright clothes are in great demand, for last November his "Peasant in a Blue Blouse" brought $406,000 at the Family Weekly, January 10, I960 same gallery. Meanwhile a Gauguin, "I Await the Letter," sold for $364,000, the highest price ever brought by this legen dary painter who died impoverished. What happened at Sotheby's was a repetition of what has been going on in other art centers throughout the world. The Renaissance was a definite period of art production several centuries ago. But there has never been a renaissance of art-buying to equal that of today. In November, 1958, 7,000 buyers sought admission to an auction at the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York, but only 2,000 got in. The others stood outside in the main waiting room and watched via closed-circuit television. AT an auction in London the same month, a tiny sketch by Giovanni Bellini, no larger than your hand, sold for $44,100. A pen-and-ink sketch five inches square by Albrecht Diirer went for $11,760. At the New York auction, a Monet sold at a bargain price of $85,000, and a Modigliani for $66,000. (In 1944 you could have bought a Modigliani for about $1,600.) A painting by Vincent Van Gogh, "Public Gardens at Aries," sold in Lon don recently for $369,000, but during his lifetime Van Gogh sold but one work! Probably no painter, however, would be as surprised as Cezanne at the vogue his works are enjoying today. Ce zanne, fortunately, was a man of inde pendent means. He painted as he pleased. Often after a day of work he tossed his paintings away. He even used some old canvases for scrubbing floors, or so the legend goes. After his death, a few of his works sold for between $9 and $43 apiece! Picasso, who is very much alive and prosperous, walked through Paris as a young man with his paintings under his arms. The dealers wouldn't buy them or even take them as gifts. Today you might be able to pick one up for as little as $185,000. One was auctioned for that amount in 1957. The same painting sold just two years before for $45,000. The most sought-after works today are those by the impressionists, a group of French artists who broke with tradi tional painting in the 1870s: such men as Monet, Pissarro, and Renoir. The post impressionists in turn broke with the impressionists: artists such' as Cezanne, Seurat, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. The boom in art has even affected people who can't afford to buy master pieces. Many try their own hand at painting. In the last dozen years, en rollment has increased many times in the painting classes of such old schools as New York's Pratt Institute and the Art Institute of Chicago. And budding 1 .755 000 0 by Thomas Andrew Synnott fjjf'j "Boy in a Red Vest" by Cezanne. painters who live far from art centers can learn to draw and paint through correspondence courses offered by such schools as the Famous Artists' School in Westport, Conn. Who are the people willing to pay fantastic prices for works of art? A typ ical audience at a London auction and London is fast becoming the world's most important art center because dealers take a smaller commission than in New York or Paris would include notables from all over the world: Amer ican collectors (including many art cwiscious movie stare), Greek shipping magnates, Swiss, South Americans, French-anyone with money. Their buying motives are different; some have hopes of making fantastic profits, some want the prestige of saying they own a Monet or a Cezanne. Among them, however, are many who love art and will part with fortunes for the sake of owning some beautiful painting. Some speculators actually put all their money in paintings. They feel that in view of the conditions that prevail on the stock market today paintings are as good an investment as anything. But art dealers both here and in Europe are ex pressing misgivings about the extraor dinary prices some paintings are fetch ing. Many are advising their clients to Adoration of the Magi" by Rubens. look at more reasonably priced works by artists who came after both the im pressionists and postimpressionists. What would happen if hard times should come? Since many of these art ists were prolific painters, what would happen to prices if large numbers of their works were suddenly put on the market? In years to come, will prices be even higher than they are today, or lower? Many works by artists who were tremendously popular in earlier times are selling for only a fraction of what their current owners paid for them. Ob viously, this is a highly speculative form of investment While the works.of the old masters are still sought, most of their known works are in museums or in the possession of collectors who have no desire to sell. One work that many collectors would like to buy is in the collection of the pres ently reigning Prince of Liechtenstein. This prince who is believed to keep his fabulous collection in his castle's wine cellar is said to have refused one offer of more than $1,200,000 for a painting by Leonardo da Vinci. But whether art prices rise or fall, whether the people who buy paintings realize enormous profits or thumping losses, as long as there are artists there will be people willing and eager to give fortunes to possess their pictures.
