On first glance, this auction as a whole just did not do it today. Burn out? It's been a really long art week in NYC.

The piece was not the type of thing that people want to spend above-decorative money on. In addition, call me cynical, but there is no need to continue 'building' via noteable high prices at very public auctions with weak pieces. No one needs to draw attention to Tauba anymore. She has everyone's.

In addition, a bunch of new work, of her current 'signature style', has just satiated many potential bidders.

That being said, I now actually quite like this piece and it has grown on me since first seeing it.

Quite agree with Mose's assessment... many lots didn't even sell: Aaron Young, Matthew Day Jackson, etc...

(disclaimer I'm not the one percent)

Personally I was burned out covering all that entire week of art. Also, I think people in NYC were burned out by 2 major fair weeks in one year let alone in just Spring (counting Armory).

Then also, people are traveling to Art HK and prepping for Basel Switzerland in June. I think there's too much art going around the previous 3 months and coming June. In a compact situation where you have 4 fairs of world class art/money then the smart collectors are holding their big money and galleries are holding their big guns for Basel & Art HK.

Back to the Tauba, I like the concept, but maybe it's a case of too many letters in one piece, it blocks out the nuances in other letters that may have shown through in a less dense word composition... Again just my personal subjective opinion. Sometimes less is more.

Yes, I believe it was a Mr. Chandelier who made the maximum bid. Or was it Mr. Rafter?

Seriously though, I didn't watch so I don't even know what they opened at. Would really expect it to sell privately via the auction house this week.

moma posted video animations of Tauba's rgb colorspace books:
http://www.moma.org/explore/multimedia/videos/214/1097
(which is cool, although i'd rather see a video of someone flipping through the pages of these books)

the art forum preview for the moma show includes a shot of one of these books: http://www.artforum.com/museums/item_id=7605
(& her Paula Cooper show is a current artforum pick: http://artforum.com/picks/section=nyc#picks31015)

I finally got to see her pieces at MOMA and was way more impressed than I thought I would be.

this list of 50 "next most collectible artists" (http://artinfo.com/news/story/808857/art....o-hector-zamora) notes that Tauba's originals at Paula Cooper were priced in the range of 40-50k (which sounds somewhat unbelievable). they reference that works @auction have sold for 75k but fail to note key distinguishing features: the works @ auction were much smaller sized and not from the more popular fold series (with wall appeal and magic) that Paula Cooper was selling. they also fail to note that demand exceeds supply with her work to the point that access is extremely limited.

& interesting interview with Tauba:

an 84 inch Hirst spin painting doesn't get a single bid and stalls at £190k and then that little thing sells for that. All change at the top then! Out with the old and in with the new.
