	Before Sotheby’s contemporary art evening sale in London on Tuesday, the omens weren’t good. There was a stuttering UK economy, an impending election, and a cooling art market. Plus, the headline lot, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s 1982 painting Portrait of the Artist as a Young Derelict, was listed with a $20 million–$25 million estimate, a noticeable drop from the $30 million estimate Christie’s gave the piece in 2022 before...

Sotheby’s Modern & Contemporary Evening auction on June 25 achieved a total north of $105 million after being estimated to fetch between $88 million and $125 million. Amid recent economic and political uncertainties in London, art sales and records have been slowing down. In spite of the softening market, there were some eventful moments on the night, one of which was the sale of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Bouquet de lilas (1878), which was acquired after a ten-minute bidding war, fetching around $8.7 million, doubling its high estimate. The work was hitting the auction block for the first time in nearly four decades.

In the realm of online bargains, an astute buyer stumbled upon what could be described as the deal of a lifetime in 2021. Initially labeled as a "fake" Degas, a pastel drawing caught the attention of a savvy thrifter. Upon closer examination with the assistance of expert Michel Schulman, it was determined that this masterpiece was likely éloge du maquillage (In praise of cosmetics) (1876), a renowned brothel scene painted by Edgar Degas, which had been missing for several decades.

The zodiac signs that are perceived as lazy are those who are prone to procrastination. Such individuals love to work at their own pace and sometimes delay the delivery of assignments or tasks. People who love their comfort zone are sometimes seen as lazy people since their work rate is not as high as others.

Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone’s prized Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 6300 was sold at Sotheby’s auction in New York yesterday, fetching $5,400,000. While the final sale is well above the upper limit of the pre-sale estimate of $5 million given by the auction house, the ultra-rare timepiece did not come close to the $8 million mark that was predicted by some experts. Let me remind you that it was the first time a Grandmaster Chime 6300 was appearing at an auction; that’s unless we include the one-off version Patek created especially for the charity auction Only Watch. That unique piece still holds the record for the most expensive watch ever sold, fetching a whopping $31 million in 2019.

Sylvester Stallone owned the most complicated Patek Philippe watch. He just sold it for $5.4 million and earned a cool profit of $2.9 million.

Tennis icon Serena Williams doesn’t miss, and her former abode—freshly listed by Sotheby’s for $13.5 million—is no exception. There are many probable reasons for why she chose to spend 13 whole years of her life in this airy, oversized home, not least of which are its gracefully appointed details, like the white marble chef’s kitchen and gilded bathroom fixtures.

There are high expectations for the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” aka “Columbia” dropping later this year. It’s an annual tradition for Jordan Brand to drop a marquee Air Jordan 11 release during every holiday season, and with nearly a year’s worth of previews, leaks, organic coverage, unboxings, and Instagram posts, Jordan Brand has very little to do when it comes to marketing the product. Simply put, Air Jordan 11s are the “must-have” shoe every holiday shopping season, and for 2024 the Jumpman will unleash a long-awaited version that could shatter records.

Property of the Week: With a tennis star and interior decorator as its former owners, this home is a love-all. After a long, stressful day at work, we all need somewhere to retreat to and recharge. But what about when you’re a 23-time grand slam winner, perhaps even the most celebrated tennis star of all time? For Serena Williams, the perfect home needs to be one to return to recover after a heart-retrenching defeat or, more importantly, celebrate a huge win.
