We went to visit the Auction House Sotheby's on Saturday. Just for the pleasure of the eyes. And it was such a treat. One of the four famous "The Scream" painting by Edvard Munch is on view for the upcoming auctioning on May 2nd. So we actually went to take a pick at the painting. But there were so many other beautiful things o see. I actually joked with my husband saying that we were fortunate not to have the means to buy anything, because I wouldn't be able to choose the one that I would like to see hanging in my living room. Although I have to confess that if I had to choose I would probably go for the Sleeping Girl Lichtenstein, one of the Chagall and a Picasso. They would all look great at home.

If you are in town, you should definitely find some time to take a look at what's on sale. The auction will take place on May 2nd, at 7pm, at the New York location.

P.S.: Sotheby's has a Free App for the iPad, in which you can download most of their catalogues. They come full of details about the most important pieces being auctioned and there are even some videos with comments from specialists. Very interesting.
