摘要
布莱克市场在2020年几乎处于沉寂状态，但在2021年初，随着布莱克的画作《以西结的妻子之死》(The Death of Ezekiel’s Wife)在1月27日苏富比(Sotheby’s)纽约早期大师画作拍卖会上亮相，市场开始活跃起来。8万至12万美元的估价低估了布莱克仍在私人手中的最重要的单色水墨画之一。竞拍在最低估价时停顿了半分钟。就在拍卖师准备拍下拍卖品时，另一位竞标者跳了进来。两名竞标者将拍卖价推至23万至28.98万美元，其中包括房屋收取的买方佣金。我相信这是布莱克的一幅无色画的拍卖记录，也是他自18世纪80年代以来任何一种媒介的作品的拍卖记录。我还没能发现新主人的身份，但我怀疑是个私人收藏家。波诺又来了吗?
The Blake market, almost dormant in 2020, sprang to life early in 2021 with the appearance of Blake’s drawing The Death of Ezekiel’s Wife in Sotheby’s New York sale of Old Master Drawings on 27 January. The estimate of $80,000-$120,000 undervalued one of Blake’s most important monochrome wash drawings remaining in private hands. Bidding paused for half a minute at the low estimate. As the auctioneer was about to knock down the lot, another bidder jumped in. Two combatants drove the drawing to a hammer price of $230,000-$289,800 including the buyer’s premium charged by the house. I believe that this is an auction record for an uncolored drawing by Blake, and a record for one of his pictures in any medium datable to the 1780s. I have not been able to discover the identity of the new owner, but I suspect a private collector. Has Bono struck again?
期刊介绍：
Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly was born as the Blake Newsletter on a mimeograph machine at the University of California, Berkeley in 1967. Edited by Morton D. Paley, the first issue ran to nine pages, was available for a yearly subscription rate of two dollars for four issues, and included the fateful words, "As far as editorial policy is concerned, I think the Newsletter should be just that—not an incipient journal." The production office of the Newsletter relocated to the University of New Mexico when Morris Eaves became co-editor in 1970, and then moved with him in 1986 to its present home at the University of Rochester.
