1)Velazquez L’oeuvre complet, Wildenstein Institute, Jose Lopez-Rey, Taschen, 2014, 415 pages, Hardcover in French

Pour Manet, il était «le plus grand de tous les peintres». Son chef-d’œuvre Les Ménines a si bien inspiré Picasso que celui-ci en a réalisé 44 variations. Monet, Renoir et Degas ont beaucoup été influencé par les tableaux du grand chambellan de Philippe IV. Francis Bacon a peint une célèbre étude de son portrait du pape Innocent X. Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (1599-1660) n’était pas seulement le plus important des peintres de l’Âge d’or espagnol; il est l’un des peintres européens les plus admirés, à la fois référence et source d’inspiration pour des générations d’artistes.

Ce catalogue raisonné rassemble l’œuvre complet de Velázquez – reproduit dans un très grand format à couper le souffle avec une sélection d’agrandissements de détails – ainsi que de toutes nouvelles photographies de tableaux récemment restaurés, grâce à l’initiative conjointe de TASCHEN et Wildenstein. Les fascinantes images du livre sont accompagnées d’un commentaire approfondi de José López-Rey développant l’intérêt que Velázquez portait à la vivacité humaine et son souci d’accorder la même attention à tous les sujets, qu’il s’agisse d’une vieille femme faisant frire des œufs, d’un pape ou d’un roi, ainsi que son dévouement à la couleur et à la lumière, qui influencera les impressionnistes plus de deux cents ans plus tard.

Description translated in English but book is in French
Manet called him “the greatest painter of all.” Picasso was so inspired by his masterpiece Las Meninas that he painted 44 variations of it. Francis Bacon painted a study of his portrait of Pope Innocent X. Monet and Renoir, Corot and Courbet, Degas and Dalí…for so many champions of art history, the ultimate soundboard was―and remains―Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez (1599-1660).
This updated catalog raisonné brings together Velázquez’s complete works, jaw-droppingly reproduced in extra-large format, with a selection of enlarged details and brand new photography of recently restored paintings, achieved through the joint initiative of TASCHEN and Wildenstein. The book's dazzling images are accompanied by insightful commentary from José López-Rey on Velázquez's interest in human life and his equal attention to all subjects, from an old woman frying eggs to a pope or king, as well as his commitment to color and light, which would influence the Impressionists over two centuries later.

2) Vermeer, L’oeuvre complet, Karl Schutz, 258 pages,Taschen,2015 Hardcover in French

Ses œuvres ont inspiré un best-seller du New York Times, un film avec Scarlett Johansson et Colin Firth, elles ont fait exploser le nombre d’entrées dans les institutions artistiques d’Amsterdam à Washington et imposé des mesures spéciales de contrôle de la foule à la Mauritshuis, à La Haye, où des milliers de visiteurs défilent pour apercevoir l’énigmatique et séduisante Jeune Fille à la perle, surnommée la «Mona Lisa néerlandaise».
De son vivant, pourtant, la renommée de Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) dépassait à peine sa Delft natale et un petit cercle de commanditaires. Après sa mort, seuls quelques collectionneurs et marchands d’art ont empêché son nom de sombrer dans l’oubli. Hors des Pays-Bas, ses œuvres ont souvent été attribuées à tort à d’autres artistes. Ce n’est qu’à la moitié du XIXe siècle que Vermeer a attiré l’attention du monde artistique, qui s’est soudain penché sur ses détails narratifs, ses textures finement nuancées et ses majestueux pans de lumière. Une fois le génie redécouvert, il est définitivement sorti de l’ombre.
Cette édition XL rassemble le catalogue complet de l’œuvre de Vermeer, regroupant dans les meilleures reproductions imaginables ses scènes paisibles et pourtant captivantes, trésors des galeries et musées européens et américains. De la rédaction d’une lettre à une leçon de musique en passant par les préparatifs culinaires, le répertoire d’actions domestiques restreint mais très évocateur de Vermeer se dévoile, grâce aux nouvelles reproductions, dans un format généreux comprenant trois doubles pages à déplier. De nombreux détails mettent en valeur le talent extraordinaire de l’artiste à témoigner des traditions et modes de l’âge d’or néerlandais, mais aussi à évoquer toute une histoire à travers une simple expression, un geste esquissé ou un regard fugace.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
