Jean-Paul Engelen and Robert Manley, Co-Heads of 20th Century & Contemporary Art, said, “The strength of the market for 20th century and contemporary art is undeniably strong, across all categories. On the heels of our record-breaking sales in Hong Kong, we were able to continue the momentum into this evening, selling 100% of the works across both locations, a tremendous feat for our international team. Emerging and historically under-represented artists were one of the stories of the evening with fierce interest in Cinga Samson, Emily Mae Smith, Avery Singer, Jade Fadojutimi, Amoako Boafo, Titus Kaphar and Salman Toor. The strength of the market also extends to blue-chip names, as we saw great enthusiasm internationally for works by Brice Marden, Willem de Kooning, and Vija Celmins; and both Wayne Thiebaud’s Winding River and David Hammons’ It’s Not Necessary achieved the second highest price for the artists. We look forward to welcoming our community of collectors into the saleroom at 432 Park Ave this fall.”
