Żle wypadła obecność dwóch prac współczesnych Ryszarda Winiarskiego obok dwóch prac Eugeniusza Zaka na tej samej aukcji w Sotheby’s – 50% sukcesu sprzedaży i w dodatku bez entuzjazmu. Sporo prac Winiarskiego będzie licytowanych w tym miesiącu na aukcjach zagranicznych; podaż jest wielka. Jak poznać, która jest ‘dobra’ skoro, patrząc moim ułomnym wzrokiem, są do siebie tak podobne i równie zimne?
