The Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale and the auction of The Art of the Surreal  which took place on the evening of 6 February 2013 at Christie's in London, realized £136,462,100/ $213,426,725/ €157,340,801 selling 89% by lot and 94% by value.

The auctions had a combined pre-sale estimate of £89.8 million to £132.8 million. The top price was paid for Jeanne Hébuterne (au chapeau), 1919, by Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) which sold for £26,921,250/ $42,104,835/ €31,040,201 (estimate: £16-22 million, pictured above). In total, 32 works of art sold for over £1 million / 42 for over $1 million, and five artist records were set: led by Berthe Morisot's portrait which set a new record price for a female artist at auction; a record for a sculpture by Renè Magritte; and records for a work by Alberto Magnelli, Kay Sage and Óscar Domínguez.

 "We were very pleased with the strength and depth of bidding tonight which drove this evening's auction to achieve both the highest total for a February evening sale at Christie's London, and our highest sell through rate for an evening sale in this category in London. The global teamwork of our Impressionist and Modern team, coupled with the international nature of buyers participating in tonight's sale, ensured that the auction drew interest and bidding from around the world. We were very pleased to achieve five new record prices at auction including for Berthe Morisot, whose portrait set an auction record for a work of art by a female artist sold at auction", said Jay Vincze, International director and head of the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening sale.

 Olivier Camu, Deputy Chairman, Impressionist and Modern Art, Christie's added: "Having held the inaugural standalone Dada and Surrealism sale in 1989 and established the first annual Art of the Surreal Sale in 2001, we are very proud that this pioneering movement of 20th century art now commands truly international attention, with our February sales eagerly awaited by collectors around the globe and across other collecting fields from Old Masters through to Contemporary art. This sale was the largest and strongest offering of Surrealist art ever offered at auction and the volume of bids reflected the enthusiasm for this sale format which is encouraging for the market and greatly rewarding for Christie's. All 9 of the works by Magritte sold, with a new record set for a sculpture by the artist, beating the previous record set at Christie's in 2009; the price for this work and Miró's sculpture, which almost equalled the current record, highlights the strength of demand for sculptures in the field of Impressionist and Modern Art."
