If you want to sell Basquiats and Birkins to the very rich, it might help to have a location on Billionaires' Row. It might also help if that location had a certain cultural cachet. Bonhams, the international auction house, managed to find such a spread in a 42,000-square-foot space that is knitted from the lower floors of an odd collection of prewar buildings and razed lots, with pops of old brick walls and limestone interrupting expanses of sheer, contemporary glass.
What drew me to [them] was clear: an iconic brand with a genuine commitment to the independent advisors across Canada who have chosen to build their businesses here and to the clients they serve.

Stephen Friedman was overdue filing when he went into liquidation on 2 February, closing his London gallery immediately (his New York venue shuttered around the same date). At the time of writing, invoices remain unpaid and artists unable to retrieve works from storage companies.

The sale brought in £130.6 million ($175 million) across 54 lots, and auctioneer Oliver Barker was given a white glove at the end, indicating that all the lots had sold—although one work, a 2004 painting by Robert Ryman, was withdrawn before the event started.

The corner of Sunset Blvd. and Alpine Drive became a traffic nightmare. Tour buses made it a stop. Tourists and locals alike milled about, gawked and took pictures. The neighbors were incensed. The "renovation" performed by Sheik Mohammed al Fassi, then 28, and his wife made them the talk of the town.
The street's ultra-luxury towers - from the first generation of supertalls west of Sixth Avenue that shaped the skyline, to mixed-use developments eastward 'driving the next phase of growth' - offer a dense concentration of cultural and lifestyle capital, paired with direct access to Central Park.

Earlier this week, former Howard Hughes CEO David Weinreb agreed to rent his West Chelsea penthouse for $177,500 a month, an eye-popping figure that followed a $95,000-a-month lease at a Naftali Group building on the Upper East Side in December. Data on trophy rentals is tough to pin down, but this is likely among the most expensive leases ever inked in New York City.
