Sotheby's has this nice Morris Louis large (85.75 x 54 inches) acrylic up for auction this coming 12 November for only $200-$300,000! Image at right.

It's circa 1961 and was acquired by the present owner in 1976... of course we all wonder how much he/she paid for it.

There's also this nice Kenneth Noland on the left... 45 by 45 inches - circa 1962 and acquired by the present owner in 1963!

This was an art collector with an early Greenbergian eye for the Washington Color School... the Noland is expected to go for $100-$150,000 which is surprisingly low - one would think.

And even more surprising: This Rothko is expected to beat Van Gogh.

OK, OK it's a huge Rothko oil versus a small Van Gogh watercolor....

There are also 128 Whistlers on the auction block (mostly prints).
