Sotheby’s Foresees a Quieter Market in February

January 22, 2016 by Marion Maneker

Sotheby's Frieze 2015

An interesting comment from Sotheby’s CEO Tad Smith’s prepared remarks this morning:

We have recently published the catalogues for our February Impressionist and Contemporary sales in London and mid-point estimates are down 23% from last February’s record actual sales totals and 16% from last year’s mid-point estimates.
