Matisse Picasso Miro Leger
Even with the current financial situation at hand, Modern Masters are holding their own extremely well, even setting new world record highs. Henri Matisse's Le coucous, tapis bleu et rose, 1911 shown first, set a new record high for the artist in February 2009 for $46.4 million originally estimated at 15.5 – 23.3 million. Pablo Picasso's Deux Personnages -Marie Therese et sa soeur lisant, 1934 sold in November of 2008 an original oil sold for $18 million at auction (shown 2nd). Earlier this year (2009) Juan Miro's Femmes et oiseaux dans la nuit, 1968 sold in February for $2.7 million at auction. Also in February of this year Ferdinand Leger's oil paining La tasse de the, 1921 sold at a new world record high for the artist in for $14.8 million (last image). At this point in time it is safe to say that Modern Masters are the choice in art and will continue to hold strong values, proving the current economic reversal as these works are highly sought after and historically significant. Two aspects a collector can always count on when it comes to secure areas in which to back our dollars.
