Christie's Prints and Multiples

April 29, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Yesterday, Christie’s held it’s New York Prints and Multiples sale. The sales may be out of the money action but they’re still a good measure of the broadest interest in art. And while the sales themselves are smaller, like all the other sales at the auction houses, the sell-through figures have to give some confidence that the auction houses are managing their markets reasonably well.

Christie’s sold $2,958,375 worth of prints in 206 lots out of 228 offered for a sell-through rate of 90%. The percentage sold by value, which is really a measure of how well the auction house’s experts set their estimates was 94%.
