Sotheby's Important 20th Century Design Auction

The Nakashima looks tempting, and almost affordable.

WTH is Charlotte Perriand, and why are those so expensive for ugly simplistic stuff that looks like I knocked it up one evening to keep my beer off the floor?

I'll happily take the George Nakashima "A Superb "Minguren I" Dining Table", but 120K to 190K is a bit high for this payday.

Many MANY drool-grade pieces in there..and some pure crap.

A genuine Mies van der Rohe steel table..... damn, what I wouldn't pay for that...wait...I KNOW what I wouldn't pay for that.. That Greene & Greene stuff looks great...and that Gustav Stickly piece will certainly meet reserve... I have the appreciation and desire... all I need is a few bucks.

Most of those pieces desereve a place by the side of the road on Monday morning with the rest of the trash. by the way did george ever make a piece worth a dam, like a maloof chair cannot figure where the arms are .....mjh
