refco photos just sold at a premium at Christies Auction House

excerpted from
from the NY post website


-Art experts were surprised at the fierce bidding for the high-profile photographs, which went on the block to help pay back cheated investors in Refco, who are owed $16.8 billion.-

-Before Refco collapsed Refco hung its 500-piece collection on office walls in New York and Chicago.-

So far, the photos have garnered $7.3 million, double what was expected. All 500 pieces, amassed during the '90s, cost the firm about $3.5 million.-

 

art market is on fire right now. fortuitous timing.

 

I wonder if there are any photos of Barry Lind laughing his way to the bank. That'd be priceless.

 

A nice pic of Phil Bennett in front of a three card monte game would be worth a chuckle
