Contemporary Pieces on the Block From Italy and the Middle East - WSJ.com: "During next week's packed round of contemporary art events in London, the city's international auction houses will sell a selection of exciting, modern pieces from Italy and the Middle East. Both Sotheby's and Christie's are hosting special Italian art sales on Oct. 16, and Sotheby's will devote a special section in its main sale to Arab and Iranian art the same day. The Sotheby's auction will feature Greek-born, Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico's classic-surrealist still-life painting 'Interno con frutta' (1926-1928), which depicts a table of luscious fruits with ancient temple ruins and a bust in the background (estimate: £900,000-£1.2 million). 'Piccolo Cavaliere' (1950), Marino Marini's superb sculpture of a horse with a falling rider, symbolizes human vulnerability (estimate: £600,000-£800,00)."
