Sculpture expected to break record, sell for $100M

t stands just under 5 feet tall, a painted bronze woman atop a small
platform with two wheels. But Alberto Giacometti's 1950 "Chariot" sculpture
could make history Tuesday, when it goes on the auction block at Sotheby's
<http://data.cnbc.com/quotes/BID>.
With an estimated worth of more than $100 million, many dealers said it
could become the most expensive sculpture ever sold and could help pull the
increasingly top-heavy art market through another record-breaking auction
season.
"This could easily set the record," said Andrew Fabricant, director of the
Richard Gray Gallery. "It's top quality, and it's extremely rare."
To break the record for a sculpture, the work would have to top the price
of a previous Giacometti. His 6-foot-tall "Walking Man I" piece, which
portrays a lanky man in stride, fetched $104.3 million at a Sotheby's sale
in London in 2010.

"Chariot," however, may be even more coveted. Many art historians consider
it to be Giacometti's masterpiece, and one of the seminal works of modern
art. Giacometti made only six "Chariots," and only two remain in private
hands. The one Sotheby's is selling had been with the same collector for
more than 40 years, making it even more valuable.
A lot is riding on those two spindly wheels. As the first of the major fall
auctions, Tuesday's sale is expected to set the tone for the auctions of
more than $1.5 billion worth of art over the next two weeks. If the sale of
"Chariot" hits any kind of bump, the remaining sales may not be as strong.
