It is true, of course, that the art market always reflects what is going on in the world, and these summer sales show that buyers have been selective, focusing their choices on safe invest- ments like diamonds and big names. Does an overcautious collector forecast a hard winter? Let's stay optimistic though, espe- cially since the autumn is looking distinctly rosy with sales of the DR Fabius Brothers collection, the Fould-Springer collection from Royaumont Abbey and the enchanting museum of fairground art Stéphanie Perris-Delmas assembled by Fabienne and François Marchal – not to mention the EDITORIAL MANAGER Vieira Da Silvas in the Jorge de Brito collection, and headline pieces like a rare painting by Lucas Cranach, estimated at €3/4M.
