NEW YORK.- Six records were set at Christie's Latin American Art sale in New York. Virgilio Garza, Head of the Latin American Art department: Tonights sale realized very solid prices for works by traditional and internationally appreciated artists such as Botero and Tamayo. The great collectors eye of Ruth and Harvey Kaplan, which already sent prices soaring in the past evening sales of Impressionist and Modern and Post-War and Contemporary Art, also triumphed tonight with their fabulous Tamayo, Discusión acalorada, fetching $867,200. It was interesting to see the interest wave for sculpture also washing over Latin American shores with Boteros Sitting Woman achieving a new world auction record for a sculpture by the artist and Zuñigas powerful Madre con niño en la cadera fetching $216,000. World auction records were established for Botero, Coronel, Iommi, Amorales, Rodriguez and Anguiano. We look forward to our day sale tomorrow, starting at 10 a.m.
