Christie’s Artists for Haiti = $13.66m

September 22, 2011 by Marion Maneker

New lot added at beginning. Nate Lowman Birthday Cake Painting takes out the estimates by a long shot to sell for $140k. Great start. Especially with no Seller’s commission. (Co-organizer Ben Stiller makes sure the sale starts with oomph.)

1)  Pettibon, No Title surf work. Bidder jumps from $150k to $300k but that just lights up the room. Quick bidding to $500k. Then climbs to $700k. Some confusion over a chopped bid to $720k. Last shots take it to $760k–not bad for a $300k high est.

2) Alys, Le Juif Errant makes $300k

3) Bourgeois, Untitled goes to $300k over $200k estimate.

4)  Ofili, Blue Smoke gets $420k

5) Stingel, Untitled wallpaper sells just under the high estimate for $580k

6) Tuymans breaks million-dollar barrier for the night with Deal-No Deal reaching $1.15m

7)  Adel Abdessemed, Mappamonde-Olive reaches $350k

8. Rosenquist, The Richest Person . . . $550k

9) Neo Rauch, Chor $900k

10) Ligon, Stranger #44 doubles up the estimate to make $450k (to Jennifer Aniston)

11) Flavin, Monument to Tatlin  gets $950k

12) Cecily Brown, Can’t Make This Up gets to $790k over $500k high est.

13) Jasper Johns, Untitled sells for $470k

14) Pettibon, No Title $820k

15) Koons, Bikini goes to co-organizer Ben Stiller for $400k

16) Dumas, My Moeder Voor . . . cracks $2m

17) Andersson, Night Guest $380k

18) Ruscha, Pick, Pan, Shovel #7  $42k

21) Cindy Sherman, (Untitled #176) $60k

22) Elizabeth Peyton, Jay-Z at Glastonbury makes $85k to John McEnroe
