________________________________

La vendita da Christie’s  ha totalizzato 132,796,200  sterline (9 lotti invenduti, 1 ritirato). 4 lotti venduti sopra i 10 milioni di sterline. 21 sopra il milione e nuovi record sono stati stabili per  David Altmejd, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marcel Broodthaers, Yves Klein e  Beatriz Milhazes. Buona la partenza. Un “Untitled” di Dan Flavin del ’68, presentato a £100,000 – £150,000, ha realizzato £205,250. Il lotto seguente, Marcel Broodthaers “Surface de moules” ha realizzato £433,250 (st. £180,000 – £220,000). I due lotti successivi, il 5 e il 6,  di Cy Twombly  hanno rispettivamente realizzato £2,169,250 (st. £1,000,000 – £1,500,000) e £713,250 (st. £350,000 – £550,000). Il lotto 7, un Concetto spaziale del nostro Lucio Fontana, ha raggiunto £1,094,050 (st. £500,000 – £700,000). Il lotto successivo, Gerhard Richter, è stato aggiudicato a £1,161,250 (st. £600,000 – £800,000). Tutto in un crescendo fino ad arrivare al primo dei tre tanto acclamati Klein. Le spugne rosa, che erano presentate con stima a richiesta, hanno realizzato il nuovo record mondiale per l’artista. Con un’aggiudicazione di £23,561,250 ($36,708,430) superando davvero di poco il precedente record realizzato sempre da Christie’s ma a New York il maggio scorso (”FC 1″, aggiudicato a $36,482,500/£22,619,150). L’ “Anthropométrie (ANT 49)” – sempre di Klein – ha superato il milione di sterline (£1,295,650) e “Rélief éponge bleu (RE 51)” – che aveva fatto parte della collezione  di Lucio Fontana – è passato di mano per £7,657,250 (st. £6,000,000 – £9,000,000).

“Struktur (2)” di Gerhard Richter, presentato a £9,000,000 – £12,000,000, è stato aggiudicato a £12,697,250. Il dipinto realizzato da Lucien Freud in giovane età, “Head of a Greek Man”, è stato aggiudicato a £3,401,250 (£1,500,000 – £2,000,000) e “Naked Portrait II” – sempre di Freud –  a £4,297,250.
“Study for Self-Portrait ” di Francis Bacon, presentato con stima a richiesta, ha realizzato £21,545,250. E’ uno dei 12 autoritratti dell’artista a figura intera esistenti, quattro dei quali sono presenti nelle collezioni di musei internazionali. La figura ritratta è una fusione del volto di Bacon e del corpo di Lucien Freud.
Roy Lichtenstein, “Reflections on Jessica Helms”, ha totalizzato £4,017,250. L’ autoritratto di Jean-Michel Basquiat ha realizzato £12,921,250 ($20,131,309) realizzando  il nuovo record mondiale per l’artista. Il precedente era stato realizzato da Phillip de Pury a New York  il 10 maggio 2012 con un’aggiudicazione di  $16,322,500.
“Untitled Butterfly (Black+cream-cicle) #681” di Mark Grotjahn (b. 1968) è stato molto conteso in sala. Offerto a £200,000 – £300,000, alla fine è stato aggiudicato a £836,450, ben più del doppio della stima massima. Tra gli ultimi lotti un mobile di Alexander Calder che ha realizzato £6,201,250 e un Mark Rothko dei primi anni ’60 venduto per  £1,945,250
