...masterwork. For certain living masters-Miró, Giacometti or Balthus, for instance-the place to go is the gallery owned by Pierre Matisse, son of Painter Henri Matisse. The Perls Galleries represent Calder and Archipenko, and they do a reputable business in "painters of the Picasso generation" like Braque, Modigliani, Soutine and Utrillo. Catherine Viviano on East 57th Street is strong on modern Italians like Afro and Cremonini, but she also represents the surrealist Kay Sage and the estate of Max Beckmann...
...Matter of Esthetics. On a more modest scale, Architect Gordon Bunshaft, chief designer for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, also had a problem with paintings.

His TV set is placed behind a sliding Dubuffet, and from behind a Miro comes the sound of his hi-fi speaker. By using stainless steel, Formica...

Last week Collector Sarlie, 45, put his collection up for auction at London's famed Sotheby's to raise money, partly to finance his Manhattan foundation to aid promising young artists. The Modigliani portrait went for $106,000, but the main attraction of the evening was Sarlie's 29 Picassos-the largest number ever put on the block at one time. Highest price for a single canvas was the $134,000 paid by Swedish Collector Carl-Bertel Nathhorst for Femme Accroupie, a somber painting of Picasso's "blue" period. And by evening's end, Sotheby...
