Quite a preview

This morning we were granted the opportunity to visit the preview of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Auction for Christie's that will be taking place tomorrow night and Friday morning.  Not only was the array of art spectacular - with works by artists such as Ai Weiwei, Gerhard Richter, Lucio Fontana, Alexander Calder, and Antony Gormley - but getting to see them displayed as though they were ready to purchase, which they were, was a whole new experience.  The price tags ranged from 20,000 to 2-3.5 million.  KEEP YOUR ARMS, LEGS, BAGS, HAIRS, BREATH IN THE AMY AT ALL TIMES! The pieces were beautiful to look at, but it was a slightly unnerving experience.

Didn't keep us from having a little bit of fun though...
