In 2017, Christie&#8217;s offered this work with a $25-35M estimate, and the saleroom guaranteed it; it failed to sell, so they likely took a bit of a loss. Taking the second spot was Zao Wou-Ki\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Le soir \u00e0 l\u2019H\u00f4tel du Palais (Palace Hotel by night)<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0from 2004. The piece was acquired directly from the artist, carried a CNY11-18M estimate ($1.8-2.9M), and sold for CNY24.4M\/$3.9M.

The painting was expected to bring \u00a335M and hammered at \u00a337M\/$46.7M (\u00a342.4M\/$56.6M w\/p) &#8212; I am sure the heirs are now very happy and quite a bit richer! Next came Francis Bacon&#8217;s <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Triptych 1986-7<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. This large, late work (completed about five years before his death) carried a \u00a335-55M estimate and brought \u00a335M\/$47M (\u00a338.5M\/$51.3M w\/p). I can only assume that the seller \u2013 Norman Foster \u2013 was satisfied with the result. The third spot saw Lucian Freud&#8217;s <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Girl with Closed Eyes<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0fall in the middle of its \u00a310-15M estimate when it sold for \u00a313M (\u00a315.2\/$20.2M w\/p).

The low end of their estimate range was about \u00a3152M, so they just squeezed by. Looking a little deeper, we find that 8 works sold below, 27 with, and 19 above their estimate ranges. This gave them an accuracy rate of 42%, which is a pretty high number. But the evening was not over; next up the Surrealists.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44354\" style=\"width: 269px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pablo-picasso-la-fenetre-ouverte-1929.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44354\" class=\" wp-image-44354\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pablo-picasso-la-fenetre-ouverte-1929.jpg\" alt=\"a surrealist painting with a head, feet and other objects - Pablo Picasso\" width=\"259\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pablo-picasso-la-fenetre-ouverte-1929.jpg 780w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pablo-picasso-la-fenetre-ouverte-1929-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pablo-picasso-la-fenetre-ouverte-1929-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-44354\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pablo Picasso<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shortly after the big auction, a selection of 21 Surrealist works was offered \u2013 hey, the fun never ends!
