Art & Auctions of Judaica at Sotheby's Tomorrow

THE NEW YORKER

NEW YORK - Sotheby’s mounts a sale of Judaica on Dec. 14, which includes such highly prized items as a lush Isidor Kaufmann painting of a young woman gazing mournfully at the viewer (“The Newlywed”) and a set of eighteenth-century German Torah finials. A sale of Israeli art the same day features a series of three oil paintings by Marc Chagall depicting synagogue interiors (an atypical subject for the artist) in Jerusalem, Vilna, and Safed. (York Ave. at 72nd St. 212-606-7000.) [link]

­Available to the public for the first time in 66 years, Chagall’s paintings featuring interiors of synagogues fetched nearly $2.5 million at the Israeli and International Art Sale in New York, exceeding all expectations.
