My favorite lots didn't sell this weekend - withdrawn at auction - which is not unusual by itself, as many sellers (either private collectors or galleries) will place a minimum "reserve" amount during consignment, and if that amount isn't reached during live bidding, the piece is "bought in" or withdrawn and then returned to the seller. However, I was a bit surprised to see that most of these works didn't go:

Zhang Xiaogang, Bloodline Series: A Boy
