SOTHEBY’S. New York, 9 maggio 2012
La vendita di “Contemporary Art” da Sotheby’s ha realizzato $ 266,591,000 (stima pre-asta: $216/304 milioni) con l’81% di lotti venduti.
Tobias Meyer, Sotheby’s Worldwide Head of Contemporary Art, ha commentato: “We are thrilled with tonight’s total of $266 million, and especially with the results achieved for our top four lots, which set a record for Roy Lichtenstein, one of the strongest prices for Andy Warhol in some time, and a record for Cy Twombly. The top end of the market performed beautifully this evening due to a global demand for masterpieces that is almost unparalleled, and we saw a remarkable depth of bidding between $30-40 million.”
