NEW YORK.- Yesterday's Morning and Afternoon Sessions of Post-War & Contemporary Art fetched $93,097,200, setting a new record total for Post-War and Contemporary Art day sales. The James Christie Room was ablaze with intense bidding, more than fifty Christie's employees were on the phones with clients and the Christies LIVE bidding feature was active. Highlights in the Morning Session included Alexander Calder's hanging mobile Fleur Jaune ($1,384,000) and Willem de Kooning's Untitled ($1,384,000) while the Afternoon Session continued to demonstrate the unquenchable thirst for all things contemporary with Zhang Xiaogang's The Sisters (The Grand Family no. 7) ($1,160,000) and Keith Haring's Untitled ($2,840,000), the super cool cover of the afternoon catalogue.
The total for Post-War & Contemporary Art realized this week at Christie's is $477,751,600, a record result for the category anywhere, ever.
Combined with the results of the Impressionist and Modern Art sales which realized $282,441,400 last week, Christie's established a total of $760,193,000 for the two weeks of sales activity and continues to dominate the high end of the market.
