Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Day Sale November 15

Sotheby’s is having a Contemporary Art Day Sale N08364 on November 15, 2007, in New York.  There are some really amazing works up for sale, including a Bedouin painting in one of my favorite series by Jean Dubuffet.  Here’s a small section of the piece (Lot 103):

If I had $150,000 to spare, I would buy it.  I do not.  His work is a little wild, but the desert and oases in the Bedouin works along with some of his cows made me a fan.  This one here is not the best in the series, but it’s great all the same.
