PRESTIGIOUS CHAIRS ‘MADE IN’ SLOKOSKI




A frame chair of an extreme luxury, this is the newly made collection by Georgi and Petar Slokoski, known for their innovative concepts, sometimes eccentric but undoubtedly successful when it comes to a demanding clientele who looks for what’s done best.

The Bulgarian brothers amaze once again thanks to this elegant design, coming straight from imperial palaces, a selection of chairs inspired from the idea of ‘Memories yet to come’. These neo artists inlay smooth and silky chairs into sculpted lime-tree frames.

The idea is to put you into a portrait picture that’s overflowing with extravaganza. These frames varnished in silver or gold with a floral signature all around the body. Presented in a diversity of styles, these frame chairs are at once, classic, modern and contemporary. Conceived in two colors: grey and deep purple, those chairs of a new kind, come in an immaculate finishing that arouses a clear baroque side, executed in the rules of art.

Take place in this noteworthy event to closely discover these artistic creations. This’d be the opportunity to stop by the accurate details shown the perfect way by these two artists, who obviously have a lot more to say.

Da Vinci art sold privately

 Recently an art dealer made a stunning discovery at an American estate. The art dealer revealed that a beautiful Leonardo Da Vinci Painting was sold off the previous year in a privately conducted auction for an exorbitant sum of more than $75m.The magnificent portrait of the artist’s oil-on-panel “Salvator Mundi” is a half-length size painting that showcases Jesus Christ holding a crystal orb in his left hand. Reports in the media confirm that apparently it had been owned by a consortium which includes the names of popular art traders Alexander Parish and Robert Simon. The heavily restored painting which dates back to the year 1500 was sold off to an unidentified collector in May 2013.
 However each and every detail of the transactions has always remained guarded from the general public owing to a strict confidential clause. It was only recently when the secret deal was disclosed by trade insiders of the likes of the London art dealer Anthony Crichton-Stuart. In a statement released to the press, Mr. Stuart further revealed that since it is a grand painting composed by a highly respected artist, its exorbitant price tag is completely justified.
The 26-inch high “Salvator Mundi” was once acquired by Mr. Parish during the early 2000′s for a yet undisclosed sum. Another study also reveals that following several research studies and cleaning processes, the beautiful painting has been revealed as an authentic Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece. It was even formerly owned by King Charles I of England.
Interestingly, this grand work of art has been displayed in many famous exhibitions like the “Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan” exhibition that was conducted at London’s National Gallery from November 2011 to February 2012. However Sotheby has not posted any comment regarding this matter since it is against their operating rules of passing comments on any of its private sales.

Expensive Francis Bacon Triptych Is Owned by the Qatar Royal Family



Not too long ago, Christie’s auction facilitated the selling of a spectacular Francis Bacon painting, which was bought off for the staggering price of $142 million. Up until now, nobody knew the identity of the wealthy art lover who purchased this exquisite piece, but the New York Post recently shed some light on the matter when it identified none other than Sheikha Mayassa bint Hamad al-Thani as the new owner of the Francis Bacon Triptych.

Since she is the sister of Qatar’s emir, Sheikha Mayassa enjoys access to vast sums of money, but she is actually the head of the Qatar Museums Authority – a position that made her famous for millions in order to secure the ownership of the world’s most prized works of art. Sheikha Mayassa is managing the royal family’s art-related budget, which is estimated to surpass $1 billion a year.

Things are going quite well for Qatar as of late, since the famed country is getting ready to host the 2022 World Cup, which equals an increase in popularity. This can only mean good things for the Sheikha and the QMA, since she is planning to open a new national museum in 2016 in order to highlight the country’s vast art collection. Sheikha Mayassa owns numerous other famed art pieces such as Paul Cezanne’s “The Card Players”, which was purchased for a record-breaking sum of $250 million.
