RENE MAGRITTE L'empire des lumières
Signed 'Magritte' (lower right); signed again, dated and titled '"L'Empire des Lumières". Magritte 1954' (on the reverse). Oil on canvas. Oainted in 1954
René Magritte’s ‘L’empire des lumières’ Sells for a Record $121 Million
A René Magritte painting depicting an eerily lit streetscape sold for more than $121 million at a Christie’s auction in New York on Tuesday –– surpassing its $95 million estimate and smashing the auction record for the Surrealist artist’s work.
As one of the largest paintings in a succession of 27 works all titled “L’empire des lumières” (“The Empire of Light”), the 1954 canvas is well known among 20th century art experts for its scale, pristine condition and subtle details.
The auction house described the artwork as the “crown jewel” of its former owner, the late American interior designer Mica Ertegun’s, collection –– part of which went on sale Tuesday. The auction also featured paintings by other modern giants like Ed Ruscha and Max Ernst.

Sculpture of a seated man with two dogs (one of the dogs is seen in the image). Dated (400-800 AD), from Veracruz, Mexico.
It could depict a warrior, as the man wears a full head mask that represents a (prairie) wolf.

Gotta keep you all updated on Robbie Williams' Instagram, and it turns out a lot of the comics he did that I've shown you guys across the last few months are now on exhibit in a museum, Pride and Self-Prejudice at the Moco in Amsterdam. And he appears to have shown up to the opening in a Canadian Tuxedo, which is just delightful.
[ID: Three images screenshotted from Robbie Williams' instagram. The first is a drawing of a disposable name badge which reads "Hello, I'm" and then written into the blank for the name, "Fully erect". The second image is of Robbie Williams in jeans and a denim jacket in front of one of his works, blown up to wall size, a series of speech bubbles about his anxious thoughts. The third is text that he posted along with the second image; transcript below.]
Transcript: Last night I went to see my exhibition before it opens to the public. I was overwhelmed with pride and gratitude. And honestly, if my meds didn't work so well, I would have shed a tear. While I was there I looked through the gift shop and there was a book with a quote from Virgil Abloh on it. It said "Everything I do is for the 17-year-old version of myself." My 17-year-old self right now is all aglow and wondering how the fuck I've done it. I just figuratively gave him a big hug.

"This is a really big deal everyone............
Archie Moore was born in Toowoomba.
He is a First Nation's Kamilaroi/Bigambul man.
He has also just been announced as the first Australian to ever win a first prize (The Golden Lion) at the biggest and longest running art and culture exhibition in the world - the Venice Biennale, in Italy (it first started 129 years ago!) Archie's work- is his family tree - that Archie wrote in chalk on the walls and ceiling at the exhibition space - it took him 2 months to complete. This massive family tree goes back 2,400 generations.
This is a huge deal......
The Australian art world is reeling with delight.
From K'town to Venice we say 'Congratulations Archie Moore.'" -Katherine Regional Arts KRA Facebook group.
