Christie’s N.Y. Contemporary-Art Sale Totals $74.2 Million, Beats Estimate

by on November 10, 2009

By Lindsay Pollock and Philip Boroff Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) — Christie’s sold $74.2 million of contemporary art in New York tonight, beating the low estimate, even as the projected top lot went unsold. Jean-Michel Basquiat’s 1983 graffiti-inflected “Brother Sausage” a six panel 15-foot wide painting, was estimated to sell for $9 million to $12 million. The auction’s pre-sale estimate was $61.5 million to $88 million. A week earlier, at Christie’s $65.7 million Impressionist and modern art evening sale in New York, the night’s projected top lot, a Picasso, also went unsold. Sotheby’s holds its contemporary sale tomorrow night. Estimates don’t include commissions.
