| Sharon Kim, Senior Specialist and Head of Sale, says:”Today’s Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale continued on from the success of our Works on Paper sale conducted earlier this morning. Eight out of the top ten lots in the Day Sale exceeded their high estimates, and the total for the auction was an impressive $31.5 million. When combined with the exceptional Works on Paper result, today’s tally was $48.21 million, close to our highest pre-sale expectations. The three sales of Impressionist and Modern Art at Christie’s New York held over the past two days totaled $325.5 million, within the combined pre-sale estimate for the week, and all three auctions illustrate the continued strength and confidence in the Impressionist and Modern art marketplace.” | |
