Abstract

The article focuses on the upcoming auction of Vincent van Gogh's painting "Parisian Novels," which is expected to sell for around $40 million at Sotheby's in New York on November 20. This painting, part of the Pritzker collection, depicts a table with 22 books and three pink roses, reflecting Van Gogh's passion for literature during his time in Paris. The auction will also feature 36 other works from the Pritzker estate, estimated at a total of $120 million, including pieces by notable artists like Paul Gauguin and Henri Matisse. Additionally, a drawing by Van Gogh titled "Public Garden with Benches" will be auctioned, marking its first exhibition since 1910. [Extracted from the article]
