Artmarket.com: real paintings by blue-chip artists remain the super-stars of the art market, says Artprice
Whereas London's sales were postponed by several weeks and were partly weakened by the implementation of Brexit, New York's prestige sales were the first major art market rendezvous for over a year. This unique concentration of Modern, Post-War and Contemporary masterpieces, all offered in just a couple of days, rapidly reassured the market and its followers. The first lot hammered by Christie's on 11 May, by Alex da Corte (1980), doubled its estimate to reach $187,500 .
Artprice has published an analysis of the results of this absolutely crucial week, which saw the first auction result above $100 million in two years: www.artprice.com/artmarketinsight/over-a-billion-dollars-worth-of-art-sold-in-new-york-this-week
Christie's and Sotheby's both offered – just two days apart – canvases by Gerhard Richter , both titled and both dated 1992, and almost of the same dimensions. The first sold for just under $7 million (below Christie's $9 -12 million estimate) while the second, from the collection of Mrs. John L. Marion , reached $23.3 million at Sotheby's.
The substantial price differential between these two works, which have very similar technical characteristics, is extremely reassuring to Artprice, which sees it as an indication that demand is strong but attentive to the intrinsic quality of each piece as well as to their origin; a demand that is capable of adjusting its intensity and defying estimates.
