NEW YORK - Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art evening sale

WHAT DOES A COLLECTOR SAY when he has no money to spend? "This art is terrible." But Christie's Post-War and Contemporary Art evening sale on Wednesday was one of the auction house's best in terms of artistic content. After Sotheby's had averted an art-market freefall the night before, dealers and collectors entered Rockefeller Center with a shot glass of hope. As art advisor Sandy Heller found his aisle seat, he said, "All asset classes are being re-priced. Art is no different, but I think the great things will sell."
