INVESTOR CORNER The art market is hot! A few notable November sales by Sotheby's: A record-setting Frida Kahlo portrait, "Diego y yo", toped Sotheby's Modern Art Evening Sale at $39.9 million. The sale achieved a near perfect sell-through rate with 46 out of 47 lots securing buyers. The highly anticipated sale of the Harry and Linda Macklowe Collection was also a huge success, yielding $676.1 million. Included in this impressive collection were works by Rothko, Giacometti, Twombly and Pollock.

A particularly interesting and significant sale this month for Sotheby's.... A rare copy of the US Constitution sells for $43 million making it one of the most expensive historic documents to be sold at auction. It was the only copy remaining in private ownership. Billionaire Citadel Founder, Kenneth Griffin, is the buyer. Read the full story.....

COLLECTOR CORNER Collectors often seek art with a meaning or a story attached. Notable fabric artist, Sonia Gomes, uses fabrics with a sentiment often donated by people who want to share memories and pieces of history such as a wedding dress, child's t-shirt, bed throws and many other meaningful items. Her work provides a spiritual and emotional connection for both her and her collectors. When adding new pieces to a collection, try out new mediums to find those special stories.

DECORATOR CORNER Native American Art is very popular in Southwestern style decor, but a contemporary setting can also be a perfect backdrop for this strong, colorful and highly spiritual style of art. The elements in this room, although very contemporary, work beautifully with this artwork by Native American artists Allan Houser and Joan Hill. The art's composition, colors and framing complement and enhance the room creating a visually interesting and well-coordinated look.
