Comment: Dina Amin and Lock Kresler, co-heads of sale:These results illustrate the health of the market at every level. The
sale totaled £11.7 million against a pre-sale estimate of £8.6 million to
£12.2 million, and the sold rates are amongst the strongest ever achieved by
a various-owner Day sale at Christie's in London. Competition from
international bidders saw a number of works exceed their pre-sale estimates,
some by two or three times. Buyers today came from 28 countries around the
world including Europe, Asia, North and South America and the Middle East,
illustrating the global interest in Post-War and Contemporary art.
