I wonder whether Andrew visits public galleries in his free time just for fun. The nemesis of tour guides everywhere.
Dear Andrew Graham - Dixon . As caravaggio fan im very happy to see you in this video.
I loved this. Do these more often. The conversations made me appreciate the works I already loved even more and made the works I was ambivalent about intriguing and pleasurable. Thanks.
Thanks Sotheby’s for this wonderful CZcams clip. Please do more of these. Andrew Graham-Dixon is an excellent art critic.
This video style is great. You get to see the interaction between the painting expert and the guide, get a brief history of the art piece, and it is all done with clarity and no annoying distractions. Feels like an actual museum tour.
How wonderful to see that Verrocchio drawing!
Interesting to see such a wide array of works together in one space. The Bacon at 8:00 is brilliant; nice anecdote from Andrew Graham-Dixon about his meeting with Edwards too. In fact, I could've done without all the waffle from Sotheby's specialists and just listened to Andrew analyse the artworks. He's infinitely more engaging and perceptive.
No kidding
I think it's a nice balance between the fact packed Sotheby's experts and Andrews counterpoint ( they also of course have dual roles taking part representing clients in the online/in person auctions, which I also love watching , good old Oliver Barker is a great compere)
Thanks to you Mr. Andrew Graham for give us this valious material with your simpathy and kindness.
All this talk but I sense the underlying enthusiasm is really about the value of these more than the content they have gracious words about.
Thanks Andrew, not much in life brings me joy but listening to you always perks me up🙂👍
What a lovely walk through human creativity and our colective history, viewing these pieces with you ,Mr Graham-Dixon, has been a treat!
I love andrew’s voice.
Thank you so much for posting this! I enjoyed it immensely. Of course Mr. Andrew Graham-Dixon makes the difference! Kind regards
I wanted to buy the 'Nightwatch' but the walls of my house were too small for a hanging 😂😂 Thank you Andrew and looking forward to more TV Programmes post Virus 👍
What a treat to watch this - thanks! I have often enjoyed going to various auction houses to get a look at great art for free (unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to bid on anything soon) and then to get a tour with Andrew and experts only enhances the experience.
Thank-you all. A really enjoyable and informative tour. Looking forward to watching the auction
There will be any rembrant masterpiece in auction?
Absolutely fantastic ......thankyou so much....maybe you could more!
Well informed folk make you very pleased.
Thank you so much Andrew Graham Dixon, for me to introduce with the 🧱 Rembrandt's painting 🖌️🎨.
I am from Ahmedabad Gujarat state India and I have studied fine arts College Faculty of fine arts College Baroda Gujarat state India, and passed with commercial arts from M.S. University of Baroda Gujarat state India. So I am working from last two 🕝🕑 years ago in drawings and painting 🖌️🎨 with my 🛂 passion, So many portrait ✅ done by me, including myself. in soft 🔈🍦 soft pastel colours, now I am doing my 💝🎁 project with water 🌊💦 colour painting 🖌️🎨 experience and practice and experiment 🥼🧪 in this 🔉 medium, So thankful for your opinion for me to introduce with these Sotheby's international art 🎨🎭 activities related to art and artist, which is well known in the world 🌎🌍 which I little bit know about from history of arts and I have already studied history of arts in my college.
So thanks 🫂😊 again for your help 🆘 and inspiring story for me to introduce with these Sotheby's international realty online demonstration of sale and purchase system of old artist work as well as contemporary art up to now.
This was a wonderful discussion of Western art! I hope that more such discussions can be shared with us in the future!
Love the Hals’ self portrait. The elbow hanging over the frame is an affectation similar to the DaVinci Salvator Munda arm/hand reaching out. This self portrait really is a masterwork. Kudos to the person who cleaned this piece. It looks like it was just painted.
excellent, very much enjoyed Andrew,s description and thank you to Sotheby,s
I’ve seen pictures of the Rembrandt self portrait. It’s beautiful. However I thought it was much bigger. Threw me a bit. Can’t imagine being in the same room with a Rembrandt.
Absolutely wonderful!
love Sotheby's
Enjoyed this. Thank you ✌🏽
His stamina here is very impressive
Thank you Andrew that was so interesting we need more of you to talk about paintings
He's not an artist & he talks out of his arse to other non-artists = cashing in on the work of others.
We need more of authentic art history conversations specially coming from such well-known institutions. Next time you mention modernists artists, have the intellectual honesty to associate it with African art. There wouldn't have been Cubism nor Giacometti's success without it. African art played a huge part of our art history.
@@cedoucidre645 Screw institutions and their "celebrity experts". The only ones who know art are artists - like me - who've lived over decades in artistic environments, met countless fellow artists, got their hands dirty: otherwise, financial groups, guided by "celebrities", hype & boost mediocrities - think Cezanne, Matisse, Warhol and vast numbers of others - whereas genuine genius, in being ahead of its time, is ignored, impugned and shit upon - think Blake, Palmer, Overbeck et al. Andrew doesn't even acknowledge that Leonardo, Michelangelo, Cellini & Caravaggio were paedophiles & that sleeping with underage kids was considered normal in classical Greece & Roman and well into the Renaissance. Why let history be dictated by money-grubbing "experts"?
Very interesting showcase of these important works, would definitely like to see more of these in the event of this kind of occurrence again, especially with Andrew. A few more close ups of the paintings as demonstrated during the conversation over Berllotto's View of the Moat over the Zwinger @30:43 etc would be much appreciated in the event of another similar showcase.
I found one of his paintings at a yard sale for years ago it's a beautiful masterpiece
Great informative video, thank you very much👌
Thank you So much !!!!. Enlighten.
Thank you for this. Perfect.
From the "Sublime to the Ridiculous" would be an apropos subtitle to the exhibition.
Lovely pictures - some nice wallpaper, too.
43:01
Totally, dude, totally
I was astounded that neither of the two "experts" discussing David Hockney's Paper Pool work (which is a paper pulp painting) had a clue about how it was made. In this case understanding the technique is vitally important because he was using a watery medium, pouring wet paper pulp, in order to depict a watery subject (swimming pool). Kind of vital piece of of information if you are selling a piece for 4 to 6 Million!
Jesus, I got bored by your second sentence on the process...gee, I wonder why they didn’t include it?
Thank you.
Please do more of these videos
I love that he did the "viture handshake"
Can't wait til someone comes across this in the future and has no idea why he did that
@@Hazzar595 lol
This is outstanding 😀
Thank you so much for posting a really interesting vid
Listening to these 2 guys geeking out over the artwork is hilarious. I love it!
Thanks!
Great vid!
Just a amazing amazing video l would love to have anything from this sale of beautiful artwork's
Sotheby's seems to keep a lot of people employed; I'm impressed. The careers "teacher" at my school never mentioned any of this to me.
your career Teachers did well. They didnt fall for the propaganda
@@manymany5076 I think that they fell for the propaganda, or at best were uneducated about the possibilities themselves having little real awareness of the world (they had, after all, ended up as teachers). I come from an industrial city, and the propaganda at the time was that industrial production was crucial, but the real politik led to the opposite situation. e.g. The MG brand of my youth is now stamped on cars made in China, and the brand itself is communist Chinese owned. ps Apple phones made by communists! Senator McCarthy should be spinning in his grave.
Youd think they could afford a camera stand for an object that will sell for tens of millions.
Exactly my thoughts, it is disappointing :(
sometimes its done on purpose to give the viewer more the feeling he's also there.
How much do you suggest they spend next time for this mobile shoot? Should they have set up dollies? I mean, Jesus, find something worth a shit to complain about, you twatwaffle
Or at least a camera with stabilization and a gimbal.
Someone's always unhappy. Gotta complain. The mental illness of the internet
Andrew Graham-Dixon is slowly turning into Alan Partridge.
HELLO ANDREW,,,,THE LAST THING I NEED IS A WALKING TOUR OF SOTHEBY'S "SALONS", TOO STUFFY FOR ME !
More great paintings we could see here, going on sale and never being seen again in this country or seen again ??
it would be great to add a kind of "story book" in the comments below, which painter will be introduced in this video and at which time.
e.g. Artist1= Rembrandt at Min.1 , Artist2 at Min. xy .... Artist n = G.Richter at 51.Min, 57.Min. closing words.
As well, it would be perfect, to zoom into details in the beginning of the picture analyse, just a minute should be ok, depend on the size of the painting.
I say this, as I would do this in a live museum ;)
Thank you for this presentation-mix of great master/ artists and their motif .
Probably gonna buy the Rembrandt not sure tho
I think you might have a bit of competition there..... myself included..... LMAO!
interesting,thank you .
wish the camera was fixed on the paintings rather than shooting afar also capturing the humans
Andrew makes fantastic programmes about art, engaging stimulating and informative. However Christians Romelli just constantly interrupts him so that section is very irritating and difficult to listen to.
I find it a bit hard to get past the frames. They are glorious.
A testament of the Elitist branding of the high end art market and how they keep the Status quo.
Yes, but the shear appreciation of art for its own intrinsic aesthetic merit, is also valued.
@@letsif Elitist Still determine who is worth $$$ and when and how much $$$ Sorry Thoes artist may be good or grate but the economics of it is a scam, there are plenty of great artist just as good and in a lot of cases better but relatively worth a lot less.
Rembrant, Roubens, Richter, in general, using same techniqes base, even colours, pay focus on theirs oil portraits, but still masterpiecies
How many times did Mr. Graham-Dixon have to walk up the steps?
As much as i love to watch this presentation of art, i am furiously angry about the fact that these paintings might dissapear from view for a unknown future.
Dear mrs. Lawes, thank you for your comment straight and to the point. I want to feel enthralled by a painting not having it analizes for ten minutes. Did you really feel those paintings merited such academia analysis, I didn’t.... well actually I didn’t watch it till the end, coulnd’t stand it anymore. But to each it’s own, take care!
Interesting to see again how modern art lacks most of the artistry from earlier times. Amazing how one could pay millions for this.
Frans starting on impressionism
At first I’m like thinking, what art did Andy Richter make? Is television considered an art form in museums now?
The way these two men trying their hardest to find something nice about the paintings to say is fascinating. why not just say what they truely are, beautifully rendered rich dead people by a celebrity, nothing more, nothing less, kind of like a new shoe designed by keyne west.
That is perhaps what the paintings have become, but that shouldn't get in the way of the content of the images and the original intention of the artists which is something quite different.
I'll take the Verrocchio, thanks, Just wrap it in some nice old linen, and throw it in a brown paper bag. Do you have two?
멋찝니다~~
Honestly i thought the Hockney swimming pool and the one after that looked like gift wrap were both horrendously overrated and pretentiously critiqued, with all this meaning shoved into them that most likely never existed in the mind of the 'artist.' However God bless Andrew for being a wonderful host and for his usual charming eloquence
You have forgotten to mention that Giacometti and Fernand Leger's artworks are an appropriation of African art and culture. Both of them never hide it. You can not talk about innovation when somoene imitates the technique and artwork from another culture. Precisely, Giacometti famous satute is a replication of the Dogon statue from Mali, Africa. Giacometti never hides the fact that he was inspired by African culture. He always paid tribute to them. There is nothing Italian here but everything from Mali.
Finally, the so called "cubism " is also an African art technique originally from Congo. That particular technique has always existed in Africa but named differently. Later on, in the 19th century the Westerners discovered it thanks to the colonization of Africa. We appropriated that technique to our paintings and decided to call it "Cubism". We as Europeans think that the so called Cubism is only related to aesthetic features but the truth is that there is an African and deep meaning for each forms and shapes that we as Westerners do not know because this is not our culture. We should be proud of it instead of omit it when talking about our great modern.
By this video it appears that you are selling some pieces of art you don't even have any knowledge of.
was it Picasso who said something like "great artists don't borrow from other artists, they steal"
"Appropriation" is the sterile, academic police term for theft. Just call them thieves. And don't pull your punches next time. Make sure to roundly condemn Picasso et all for not sharing the views of the cultural commissars of our age. You're comments are so very restrained...behind them I sense your urge to round up all pieces you find...oh, what's your other word?..."problematic"...put on a grand show that will tour the world (I suggest you call it The Degenerate Art of the Moderns or something), and then righteously toss them all in a grand public bonfire. Or perhaps just be smug about kicking them out of museums...Oh, and don't forget to cancel all younger artists who don't tow your precarious political line.
oh, and i want to thank you for inspiring my own current round of paintings, where i blot out the main work and cover them over with black, and then write, in righteous stencilings, stuff that proclaims things like: THIS PAINTING WAS FOUND TO BE OBJECTIONABLE AND UNFIT FOR PUBLIC DISPALY
Legion Pigsmack I bet your next sale is just moments away, pigsmack

...great art, great introduction and fine labeled! it's not a secret the 'bellotto' was owned a few years by 'a. hitler' then goes to the german goverment and after a long time finally returned to the grandchildren of 'm. emden' - no doubt fairly, but sad this great picture doesn't hang in a museum, such art suits not a privat home - it's 2020 ;-)
Long format content baby! And mOdERn HaS nO aRtIstRY.
15:14 Helena Newman looks like the model of Femme Endormie, actually
To place Rembrandt in the same bag as the modernists is like comparing the Parthenon to a cave.
@Plato's Metaphysician I was speaking of a cave - not one altered by human hands. ;)
@Plato's Metaphysician And, no - they are not as fantastic as the Parthenon. But they are certainly quite close - if viewed in the historical context of acquired knowledge, skills, technique, and psychological development of their times.
Maybe, but the cave is the work of the greatest artist, Mother Nature. And Rembrandth himself said, I have only one master_ Mother Nature. And that cave has a greater subtlety and artistic impression, than the Parthenon. Which is an artificially unnatural creation of the transient human mind of a time. Which may appeal to people who are both constrained by the mind and so trained and trained that they like, and represent the ideal of beauty. But for Mother Nature the foundation of all art, it can be worthless and ugly.

They are all sooooo AMAZING but your SELLING them??
art is not about art...it is about commodity fetishism
yes, sad to think they will taken away from the public eye
Volterra is not Volterrà and Alberto Giacometti was Swiss, so he didn't fight in WWII
THE GREATEST TV GUY EVER
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE They selling art
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE They just running thru the artworks it's not that serious
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Wait you haven't even watch the video come on be serious I watched it and he is not saying anything That connoisseur dont know about these are FOR Lazy edgefundersto watch while they eat as fast as possible their 3 star meal at the seagram
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE Rather he sends it to a museum then to you to be honest
@JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE I retrieved myself from the art market to get back to the core the tru meaning of art not its speculation
I do feel sorry for people who see works of art as commodities, and whose chief concern is to maximise their “value”
Nooooo, that's the ONLY reason they exist.
Put an artist behind the camera. Close ups on brush strokes and long still moments so we could “observe”.
We don’t really need to see them talking rather a larger view on our screens of the artworks.
delightful./\//\///\
I don’t understand why a Picasso of one period and style. Is in what I know as a gosso Italian frame that you would see a da Vinci or Caravaggio in? I obviously know nothing about art.
"500 years of history " ...." The entire history of art " he said but he never mentioned the great influence of African culture on modern art while talking about cubism movment or famous Giacometti statue. Are they allergic to the truth? Do they believe that collectors are so easy to fool?
I agree, baffling. Picasso's sculpture and paintings was highly influenced by African sculpture.
Art history,critic and documentaries are heavily eurocentric. They ignore much of art outside of Europe. I personally love asian art in general and would like to see more books and documentaries about it
Methinks Mr. Graham-Dixon doth waffle too much.
Andrew Graham-Dixon is a misunderstood comedian.
Mc Donalds should hire him I am sure he could manage to get someone to buy chips with their hamburger
ahhh the art market bubble, unaffected by this recession and virus lol
Sure thing, all of my paintings are flying of the walls.
@theartistbk check out canvas paintings of divine consciousness
1- A G-D: blah blah blah ego 2- professional camera man / DP would have come in handy
I love listening to Art salesmen coming up with superlatives about some pretty ordinary works. They bloody well work very hard selling artworks without much substance. Incredible how gullible some people are. It is embarrassing to have Masters like Rembrandt and a few others being in the same company with Artists who would never be accepted as apprentice's in a masters studio
Kiss Matisse!
I read the title Rembrandt to Richter and I couldn’t help but think about how did we get here. It’s akin to the degeneration of politics. Abraham Lincoln to Donald Trump. So is the desperation of acquiring, getting that entirely unique piece that can generate hype which generates interest that IS value which is how profit is obtained and exclusivity is enhanced. Art today has little to do with human cultural history, natural or developed talent or communication. It’s about exclusivity, uniqueness and profit.
An insult to Rembrandt, Hals etc. for some of this garbage (34:45 and the others) to be in the same video or even same space.
How tedious. Where is the title?
How much do Sothebys pay their cleaners?
Waffling for a living, nice work if you can get it.
Art historians and curators drive me crazy. They just cannot accept that a painting may not have a "reason" or a "message". So they literally stand around and invent them from thin air.
The personal interpretation of a work of art is a natural reaction,attitude
The problem is that there is a 75% chance that this "Rembrandt" 1:35 is a fake. Way too light and muddled. The only reason I give it a 25% chance of being authentic is because it is so small and Rembrandt did not care or he made a mistake..... Maybe it should be 90% chance...
So so so wish there were better images of the art itself
😉
Why would Rembrandt be shown among works of childlike nonsense ? seriously the Emperor has no clothes...
Most rubbish Art needs some master artist to draw people into a museum or gallery . No one would go to a museum /auction if a master wasn,t represented
this kind of money and art is beyond gross in particular because the work will end up in the secure black box until its value increases enough to sell
I just cannot believe that they (or anyone) takes Richter's work seriously. For me, Richter represents a supreme dearth of talent, and I will never buy into the Emperor's Clothes. It is a crime against Art that his name can be mentioned in the same context as the real art masters.
