Eric Chang, International Director of Christie’s Asian 20^th Century and Contemporary Art Department, however, stated that after-sales activity has been strong for a key work by Zhang Xiaogang, which went unsold at auction.

According to this article, the owner of a stolen Picasso decided that displaying the work adds more economic value to his gallery than actually selling it. 

The Picasso sketch, “Tete de Femme” (1965) was stolen last summer from the gallery. Though the artwork’s value has risen 0,000, or to three times its value, from the time that Weinstein acquired it just six months ago, Weinstein claims that the presence of the recently returned work brings in so much additional foot traffic from people interested in seeing the work that it is worth more as a marketing tool than as merchandise.

Chicago-based real estate investment firm Waterton Associates closed on the first part of its purchase of 88 Leonard Street from Africa Israel USA this evening, the firm’s managing member and co-founder, David Schwartz, confirmed.
Waterton closed on a 49 percent stake of the 352-unit rental building near Broadway in Tribeca for million. Schwartz, whose firm was represented by Steven Vegh of Multi Investment, said the transfer of Africa Israel’s remaining stake, the senior mortgage and the mezzanine loan would close sometime in the first half of 2012. The prices for those components were million, 2 million and million, respectively, according to a previous report by Bloomberg News, for a total cost of about 0 million. The deal is being closed in two stages for accounting purposes, according to Schwartz.
The purchase was funded by the 0 million Waterton Residential Investment Fund 11 and marks the firm’s second purchase in New York City. It also bought the notes on the Addison Brooklyn at 221 Schermerhorn Street in Downtown Brooklyn last December. Schwartz said the firm has more New York City transactions pending as it looks to build its presence in the area, but declined to discuss the deals until they close.

Calling all Alexander Wang fans, get ready to set your alarm because this Friday, June 17, our favorite designer Alexander Wang will introduce a limited edition collection of “highly-anticipated” leather goods from his Fall 2011 runway show to be sold exclusively on eBay Fashion Vault! Products include wallets, coin purses and travel cases, ranging from 5 – 5.

Inspired largely by the notion that wallets do not have to be relegated only to the inside of one’s bag, Wang shares, “I’ve always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag. It’s inspired the look of the show and the collection, itself.”

The limited 24-hour sale begins at 6 AM ET/3AM PT on Friday, June 17! Shop, shop, shop!!

I recently got my postcard that Billy Reid is having a huge moving sale at it’s NorthPark Center store, now through May 31. The Southern charmed clothier is relocating to Highland Park Village next month and plans to open the doors by June 10.

Everything in the store is up to to 75% off and Reid (left) has even shipped in merch from company headquarters for the event.

Store director Dave Gates gave me the scoop on some of their best deals right now: Men’s button downs are marked (regularly 5), women’s dresses range from to (regularly 0-plus) and the shop’s famed “urban cowboy” leather boots are just 7 (regularly 0.)
