NEW YORK.- The two-day sale of Prints and Multiples at Christie’s New York totaled $8,165,663/£5,234,399/ €6,532,530 and was 62% sold by value and 61% sold by lot. Tudor Davies, Head of Prints, comments: “We are pleased with the results of the two-day Prints and Multiples sale, where quality and condition proved key factors in determining price. Highlights of the sale came from the modern section, with our cover lot Madonna by Munch and Picasso’s Femme au Tambourin each achieving strong results in today’s market. We were particularly pleased that Matisse’s Marie-Josee en robe jaune, consigned on behalf of the estate of Pierre-Nöel, achieved a world auction record. Demand for Post-War and Contemporary Prints remained steady with sustained bidding by US Trade and private buyers.”
