For this spring issue, we've decided to talk about the weather... beyond<br />
any meteorological considerations of course, even if we Parisians have<br />
to admit that we are more than glad to see the sun again! A positive<br />
shower of records has rained down on the art market over the past few<br />
weeks. For Paris alone, numerous specialties registered bids of over a<br />
million, first and foremost Old Masters, dominated by the figures of<br />
Jacobus Vrel and Charles le Brun. The latest analyses of the Chinese<br />
market, somewhat on the gloomy side, led us to fear a drop in prices.<br />
But far from it: there is no depression for ceramics, bronzes or textiles<br />
from the Middle Kingdom. Lastly, we note that the volume of sales for<br />
drawings, the Parisian speciality of the month, has hardly changed at all,<br />
an upward price curve has been noticed for 19th century works. So<br />
these are our news for the last few days. Forecasts, meanwhile, look<br />
pretty sunny judging by the May programme, which includes a Japanese<br />
lacquer chest that once belonged to Mazarin, a painting by<br />
Nicolas de Staël and a terracotta from the Renaissance. Once again, in<br />
contrast to many other sectors, the barometer for art and the art market<br />
is set fair!
