SOTHEBY’S. Londra, 10/11 febbraio 2010

La Evening di Sotheby’s del 10 febbraio ha totalizzato £ 54,074,450 ($84,761,700 / €61,461,160), superando di gran lunga la stima pre asta:£32,157,000-44,986,000 (96.1% di venduto per lotto, Lots Offered: 77, Lots Sold/Unsold: 74 / 3). I 47 lotti della collezione Lenz (Gruppo ZERO) hanno moltiplicato le stime e realizzato £ 23,213,050 ($36,386,456 / €26,384,013) partendo da una stima di £11.1-15.1 million. Il Lucio Fontana “Concetto Spaziale. Ritratto di Carlo Cardazzo” stimato 1-1,5 milioni £ è stato aggiudicato a 2,279,250 £. Un Enrico Castellani del ’59, stimato 70-90 mila £ è arrivato a 493,250 £. 19 NUOVI RECORD. Tra cui Bonalumi, Castellani, Dorazio, Manzoni, Colombo, Simeti.

Cheyenne Westphal, Sotheby’s Chairman of Contemporary Art Europe, said: “The outstanding sell-through rates, depth of bidding across the sale – particularly for Lenz – and strong prices we achieved this evening are a clear sign of renewed confidence in this market and build on the positive and strong results of our New York sale in November. The result for ZERO Art: Property from the Sammlung Lenz Schönberg is affirmation of the market’s hunger and thirst for coherent private collections of visual and fresh to the market works with exceptional provenance. Having been widely exhibited in museums across the world, ZERO Art has now also conquered the art market.”

Sotheby’s Senior Director and Senior International Specialist in Contemporary Art, Oliver Barker, continued: “We’ve witnessed this evening that there’s an intelligent marketplace which is keen to buy the very best of its type from masterworks at the very top end of the market, such as the De Kooning, Freud, Kleins, Fontanas, Manzoni, Doig and Ofili – our top lots tonight – to exceptional works by artists such Heinz Mack and Otto Piene at the middle-market level, the bellwether, which sold well in excess of their pre-sale estimates and set new records for the artists at auction.”
