FILES-US-ART-AUCTION-SOTHEBY'S-GAUGUIN
(FILES) Sotheby's auction house impressionist and modern art specialist David Norman points to details of the painting "Te Poipoi" (The Morning) by French artist Paul Gauguin during a preview of Sotheby's fall sales of impressionist and modern art in New York, in this 02 November 2007 file photo. A major sale of impressionist and modern art at Sotheby's in New York late on 07 November 2007 fell far short of expectations, with works by several major artists failing to find buyers.While the sale did see a record set for a sculpture by Pablo Picasso and top prices paid for works by Egon Schiele, a quarter of the works remained unsold and the total bids fell well short of pre-sale estimates.Other highlights of the sale including works by Gauguin, Franz Marc and Lyonel Feininger meanwhile sold at or below their lower estimates. Gauguin's "Te Poipoi" (The Morning), one of the French post-impressionist's exotic Tahitian paintings, was the top lot of the sale but sold for a disappointing 39.2 million dollars to Hong Kong tycoon Joseph Lau.
