Comment: Alexandra McMorrow, Christie's Director, London Head of Department and Etienne Hellman, Christie's International Director of Orientalist Art: “We are thrilled with the exceptional result of today's sale which realised £21,450,125, the highest total ever achieved for this category at Christie's. 7 new world auction records were set, ranging from Jean-Léon Gérôme's Femme circassienne voilée: Veiled circassian beauty, 1876 which realised £2,057,250, to a world record price for a watercolour by Giulio Rosati, Bedouins preparing a raiding party, 1895, which fetched £265,250. International private bidders from the Middle East, India, North Africa, Europe and America competed fiercely. We look forward to the sale of 19th century and 0rientalist Art at Christie's New York on 22 October 2008." | |
