Art Auctions

All of the top five paintings at the summer auction at Christie's in Amsterdam were painted by Dutch painters. I think that I like the Jan Cossaar painting depicting playing in the snow after school better than I like the painting entitled Bollenveld by Anton Dircks.

They look like they will sell for similar prices. The oil painting of a lake in a panoramic Alpine landscape by Swiss artist Jacob Joseph Zelger is very large and very beautiful. I liked the style that he used for his creation. Christie's estimates that this painting will sell for five to seven thousand euros.

Precious Moments figurines have never been something that I particularly liked.

My friend's daughter loves them. She started collecting Enesco Precious Moments figurines after we took her with us to an art auction that had a small lot of them.

She spends significantly less on her collection than the rest of us do, but I think she'll catch up.
