Particularly the point of setting the estimate too high, then selling later. Interesting psychology. I need to research these auctions a bit. Does contemporary art sell well at auction?

This was particularly the case with the Chinese artists in Sotheby's most recent sale. I think they might have been somewhat overvalued, apparently the market might be agreeing.

I do however think that the market is evolving, but more on that in another post Nicholas Forrest artmarketblog.com I agree with you about the auction results but I am not so sure that the market is softening.

Given that, if you clearly analyze the Sotheby's auction results (look beyond the headlines) from their last auction, there is an obvious softening in the contemporary art market.
