• Resumen

  • The article reports on key controversies relevant to the sale of a set of 19 watercolors by William Blake which failed to meet expectations at a special-session auction at Sotheby's in New York on May 2, 2006. The sale had been criticized by museums, scholars and the press in both England and the United States for the decision of consignors and Sotheby's to break up the group of delicately colored, manered drawings depicting the migration of the soul from the terrors of death to the joys of resurrection.
