Highlights of the sale came from the modern section, with our cover lot Madonna by Munch and Picasso’s Femme au Tambourin each achieving strong results in today’s market. We were particularly pleased that Matisse’s Marie-Josee en robe jaune, consigned on behalf of the estate of Pierre-Nöel, achieved a world auction record. Demand for Post-War and Contemporary Prints remained steady with sustained bidding by US Trade and private buyers.”
