«I JUST READ EVERYTHING»

Appearing on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Wednesday morning, Michael Novogratz of Fortress Investment Group said the art market has all the signs of speculation and that he could see a correction similar to the recent drop in gold.The high-priced art market may be poised for a fall, according to a top investor.He said the correction, when it comes, will be dramatic. While Novogratz is not shortSotheby's stock, he said the turn in prices could be more than 50 percent. "These $90 million paintings, you know, they might be worth eight one day. They won't go from 90 to 70, it will go from 90 to eight."
"Art is 100 percent a bubble—I mean it has all the markings for a bubble," Novogratz said. "Prices have gone parabolic. You go to any of the art shows and you know even the cheap stuff that was $10,000 two years ago is now $80,000. The expense of art has gotten crazy."
