Not only is the internal crisis that could threaten the traditional reputation of the auction house Christie’s, there’s another controversy that takes account of the international art market. Some experts believe that high amounts paid for works auctioned in recent months, as the sculpture of Alberto Giacometti by Lily Safra acquired for $ 103.4 million, could end up inflating the sector, creating a sort of "bubble".
* The irony is on account of the fact that most of the new art colecionadres who went shopping this year and therefore at risk of losing significant share of assets, is comprised of bankers and economists who work in large institutions like Goldman Sachs, just one of the greatest villains of international crisis. In other words: here we do, here you pay.
