Christie’s NY Imp Mod Eve Sale = $117m

May 1, 2012 by Marion Maneker

Christie’s worked very hard to get a 90% sell-through rate on their $117m sale. They did it by aggressively lowering estimates. At one point, auctioneer Jussi Pylkkanen had $550k bid and offered that $600k would take the lot even though the bidding was far from the low estimate.

  1. Cezanne, Card Player ($15-20m) 19.1m
  2. Matisse, Les Pivoines ($8-12m) $19.1m
  3. Picasso, Le Repos ($5-7m) 9.88m
  4. Monet, Desmoiselles de Giverny ($9-12m) $9.6m
  5. Picasso, Femme assise ($2.5.-3.5m) $5.2m
  6. Henry Moore, Reclining Figure ($4-6m) $5m
  7. Georges Braque, Mandoline a la sonate $2.5-3.5m) $3.44m
  8. Pierre Bonnard, Femme endormie ($1.8-2.5m) $1.43m
