Recently a Christie’s art sale became the highest auction in history. The sale included works by Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein and Jean-Michel Basquiat, among others and in total generated $495 million. The sale established 16 new world auction records, with nine works selling for more than $10m (\u00a36.6m) and 23 for more than $5m (\u00a33.2m). Christie’s said the record breaking sales reflected \u00aba new era in the art market\u00bb.<\/p>\n
The top lot of Wednesday’s sale was Pollock’s drip painting Number 19, 1948, which fetched $58.4m (\u00a338.3m) – nearly twice its pre-sale estimate.<\/p>\n
Lichtenstein’s Woman with Flowered Hat sold for $56.1 million, while another Basquiat work, Dustheads (top of article), went for $48.8 million.<\/p>\n
All three works set the highest prices ever fetched for the artists at auction. Christie’s described the $495,021,500 total – which included commissions – as \u00abstaggering\u00bb. Only four of the 70 lots on offer went unsold.<\/p>\n
In addition, a 1968 oil painting by Gerhard Richter has set a new record for the highest auction price achieved by a living artist. Richter’s photo-painting Domplatz, Mailand (Cathedral Square, Milan) sold for $37.1 million (\u00a324.4 million). Sotheby’s described Domplatz, Mailand, which depicts a cityscape painted in a style that suggests a blurred photograph, as a \u00abmasterpiece of 20th Century art\u00bb and the \u00abepitome\u00bb of the artist’s 1960s photo-painting canon. Don Bryant, founder of Napa Valley’s Bryant Family Vineyard and the painting’s new owner, said the work \u00abjust knocks me over\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
