La Evening Sale di Post-War and Contemporary Art ha totalizzato $ 272,873,000(£169,181,260 /€199,197,290), con un venduto del 93% per lotto e 5 nuovi record mondiali stabiliti. La stima pre sala per i 75 lotti in catalogo era di 239.2 – 348.6 milioni di dollari. Gli acquirenti provenivano per il 63% dall’America, 20% Europa, 4% Asia (13% altro). In totale, 45 lotti sono stati venduti per più di 1 milione di dollari, 8 per più di 5 milioni e 4 per più di 10 milioni.
Marc Porter, Chairman of Christie’s Americas, ha commentato: “We welcomed an enthusiastic response from the global collecting community this evening, giving Christie’s the week’s highest total for Post-War and Contemporary Art evening sales. Led by an exceptional group of museum-quality works from Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, and Gerhard Richter, this was an evening rich with masterpiece-quality works offered fresh to the market from this season’s most important private, corporate and estate collections. Eight lots sold for more than $5 million, and the sale total nearly quadrupled the amount for the same time last year. We continue to see ever-increasing demand from both new and established collectors with deep stores of wealth, who remain actively engaged in the auction market.”
