Hello Jeffrey
First of all I would like to introduce myself, I am partner. She is driving to the Alps with terrible phone reception and has asked me to sen you images and details of artworks we have selected for you. We have requested images from various contemporary galleries, works that we believe are the most unusual, unique and compelling pieces on the primary market.
We thought we would start with the Young British Artists- the bad boys and girls of the London art scene, names you will, of course know.
Tracey Emin, her work reveals her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes. In candid and, at times, excoriating ways, she is frequently both tragic and humorous.
Tracey Emin When I Think about Sex I Think about Men - Women, Dogs, Lions, Group Sex (And I Love you all) 2005 Edition of 3 Snow white neon 46 7/8 x 92 1/8 in. (119 x 234 cm) GBP 60,000.00
Tracey Emin A Rose 2007 Acrylic on canvas 72 1/16 x 72 1/16 x 1 3/8 in. (183 x 183 x 3.5 cm) GBP 165,000.00
Marc Quinn, is one of the leading members of the Young British Artist movement. He is a figurative sculptor and painter. We have selected this work because we are sure you are familiar with the image as it has received so much attention from the press. The gold leaf Kate Moss large sculptures have been exhibited at the British Museum, at
EFTA00765122
Blenheim Palace and have been on the cover of numerous magazines. But this edition of 4, 18 carat gold sculptures have never been exhibited or shown before- all 3 are sold into important private collections and this Is the last available. It is in the artists personal collection and we have convinced him to offer it to our clients.
Marc Quinn Microcosmos (Siren) 2008 Edition of 4 Solid 18 carat gold 13 3/8 x 9 1/16 x 7 1/2 in. (34 x 23 x 19 cm) GBP 2,000,000.00
German Anselm Kiefer- he is undoubtedly one of today most important artists. Few contemporary artists match Kiefer's epic reach, and his work consistently balances powerful imagery with acute critical analysis.
The Fertile Crescent is a never seen before, important painting and to our belief, Anselm is still an undervalued artist.

The Fertile Crescent, 2009 Acrylic, oil, shellac and sand on canvas 475 x 950 cm EUR 1,500,000 (exclusive of VAT)
No need to present to you Damien Hirst, as he is one of the most talked about, controversial and compelling artist today. I have attached a triptych of his most recent body of work. As you know Damien has closed a chapter on all his early works and Is now focusing uniquely on painting. This never seen before triptych is powerful and direct confrontation of the fear of mortality.
Damien Hirst The Shot Crow Year to be confirmed Oil on canvas Triptych. Each: 80 x 51in. (203.2 x 129.5 cm) GBP 7,000,000.00 On Hold
This is the first selection. We will over the course of the week send you other works that we are receiving directly from artists studios. Annabelle will be in touch and In the meantime I hope you are well.
