Eric Fischl: a good investment, says New York


The Old Man's Boat, The Old Man's Dog, 1982.

BBQ, 1982.


New York magazine is currently featuring a comprehensive guide to investments (steals) in the cut-rate market that has been unfolding. Among the real estate, stocks and currencies- paintings by Eric Fischl. The edgy pieces are described by Christie's as "buzz(ing) with a strange sexual tension." Themes of voyeurism, lurking taboos and suburbia are certainly dominant. Things aren't quite all right in Fischl's work, perhaps he's conveying the wild thoughts which may be running through your head...

So this is what's running around inside your head!

(What a steal at the $800,000 - 1.2 mil estimate.)
