Christie’s Compact May Imp Mod Sale: 32 Lots with $100m Estimate

April 5, 2012 by Marion Maneker

 

Christie’s entire Impressionist and Modern catalogue can be seen here. This May’s sale represents a shift in strategy focusing on fewer, rarer works including the Cezanne card player watercolor, a Matisse that sits on the cover and a Monet haystacks and a strong Braque still life capitalizing on the Acquavella show’s reception and Christie’s own success with the Brody Braque two years ago.

Altogether the sale is 32 lots, a far cry from the massive 70 or more lot sales during the previous art market peak. The combined estimate is $100m.
