American Art Sales = $76.1m

May 24, 2018 by Marion Maneker

The American art auctions held in the aftermath of the May marquee sales in New York posted some decent numbers this week. That comes after a massive $106m spent on American art during the Rockefeller auctions. We’ll try to put together a global analysis of the American art sales including Rockefeller lots along with Christie’s and Sotheby’s American sales for AMMpro subscribers. In the meantime, the two sales together were $76.1m in total with 77% of the 193 lots sold. About a quarter of the lots sold for prices above the high estimate. The lot most competed over was a Daniel Chester French painting of George Washington originally estimated at $40-60k that sold for $187,500.
