Today in the Art World...

Sotheby's made a comeback last night, selling $315.9 million worth of post-war and contemporary art, the auction house's highest sales total ever. More on this later.

Among the 2007 National Medal of Arts recipients announced yesterday by President Bush are Andrew Wyeth and George Tooker, both artists, and Roy R. Neuberger, a collector and patron of modern art.

A Jean Nouvel-designed tower is going up next to the Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhattan, and MoMA will use three of the floors as exhibition space. Nicolai Ouroussoff, the architecture critic for the New York Times', has some suggestions as to how the museum could improve upon the installation of its collection.

Georgia O'Keeffe was born on this day in 1887.

Phillips caps off auction week tonight.
