Cristian Albu and Rosanna Widen, co-heads of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Auction: “Building on the success of this week’s Post-War & Contemporary Evening auction, we are pleased with the Day Sale results of £14.8 million and in particular with the outstanding sell through rates reaching 95%, which matched those of the evening sale, as this continues to demonstrate the strength of the Post-War and Contemporary Art market, attracting competitive bidding from international collectors from Europe, South America, Asia and the Middle East. We are delighted with the result of Andy Warhol’s Golden Shoe (Julie Andrews Shoe), which fetched £722,500, a record price for any work by the artist from the 1950s. We continued to achieve strong results for great contemporary German painters such as Gunther Förg and Albert Oehlen. We are also pleased to have supported Goldsmith’s Gallery Project, achieving strong results for such prestigious alumni as Sarah Lucas whose Nahuiolin achieved £266,500 and Damien Hirst whose Ipratropium Bromide achieved £542,500.” |
