| Sharon Kim, Senior Specialist and Head of Sale, says:”Following on from the success of last night’s Evening Sale, we are delighted with the results of this morning’s Works on Paper sale that confirms the continued strength and confidence of the international Impressionist and Modern art market. Christie’s remains the only international auction house to hold sales dedicated to Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper, and the auction total of $16.7 million far exceeded our highest pre-sale expectations of $14.2 million. We were particularly pleased with the new work on paper record for Paul Klee, and we now look forward to the Day Sale.” | |
