Hot on the heels of Christie’s first half 2013 results which emphasized growth in the Contemporary category below the $100,000 threshold (and increased online sales activity) where CEO Steve Murphy foreshadowed their new July First Open sale by saying they could add several more day sales in this category, Christie’s releases results from the prints and multiples part of the First Open experiment. With $1.9m in sales and 88% sell-through rate, demand is clearly strong. Christie’s was quick to point out that 60% of the lots were won or underbid online.
