I'm not sure who a couple of those artists are since I'm more into surrealism but I've recently finished an informational website for surreal artists including 2 of them in this auction. The Alexander Calder section is http://www.surrealism-artlinks.com/Artist/Alexander-Calder/ and the Jean Arp area is http://www.surrealism-artlinks.com/Artist/Jean-Arp/
