There were actually a trio of sales that evening, but I won&#8217;t be talking about the $11.5M <a href=\"https:\/\/news.artnet.com\/market\/raptor-fossil-christies-6-million-2107552\">dinosaur skeleton<\/a> that followed the two art sales. The sale that started everything off was that of a prominent private collection. The twelve pieces featured once belonged to Anne H. Bass, a prominent investor and philanthropist who passed away in 2020. The small but incredibly valuable collection was set up for viewing at Christie&#8217;s in one of the ground floor galleries. The collection&#8217;s three paintings by Monet hung in a darkened, semicircular alcove with pale purple and blue lights focused on each canvas to highlight their dominant colors. By the end of the night, the Bass Collection brought in more for Christie\u2019s than many of their hundred-lot sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44975\" style=\"width: 208px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rothko-untitled-2400.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44975\" class=\"wp-image-44975 \" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rothko-untitled-2400-245x300.jpg\" alt=\"A red color field painting by Mark Rothko, sold at Christie's\" width=\"198\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rothko-untitled-2400-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rothko-untitled-2400-768x942.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/rothko-untitled-2400.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-44975\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Untitled (Shades of Red)<\/em> by Mark Rothko<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Claude Monet was the star of the show with two of the top three lots at the sale. Monet resided in London between 1899 and 1901, where he completed a series focusing on the Palace of Westminster, the seat of the British Parliament. Looking out the window across the Thames, Monet captured the building at different times a day, in different light and different weather, creating 19 paintings. Several of Monet\u2019s Parliament paintings hang in some of the world\u2019s great galleries and museums, including New York\u2019s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, Washington\u2019s National Gallery, and Paris\u2019s Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Le Parlement, soleil couchant<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, rich with the oranges and purples of a British sunset, was estimated to sell for between $40M and $60M. It sold slightly above estimate at $66M (or $75.96M w\/p), making it the most valuable Monet Parliament work sold at auction. Though Mark Rothko\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Untitled (Shades of Red)<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0was the most highly-valued work in the sale at $60M to $80M, it sadly deferred to the Monet and took second place at $58M (or $66.8M w\/p). I think, by law, it cannot be a prominent private collection if there isn\u2019t a Monet water lily painting present. If I\u2019m right, the Bass Collection is certainly up to code. The last lot in the sale, a\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nymph\u00e9as<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0by Monet, fell nicely within its $35M to $55M estimate, selling for $49M (or $56.5M w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44976\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44976\" class=\"wp-image-44976\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-288x300.jpg\" alt=\"A Nymph\u00e9as water lily painting by Claude Monet, sold at Christie's\" width=\"204\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-288x300.jpg 288w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-982x1024.jpg 982w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-768x801.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-191x198.jpg 191w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-1473x1536.jpg 1473w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2022_NYR_21517_0012C_000claude_monet_nympheas092911-1964x2048.jpg 1964w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-44976\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Nymph\u00e9as<\/em> by Claude Monet<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Of the twelve lots, eight sold above estimate.

The most publicized lot in the sale was a small-scale version of Emanuel Leutze&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Washington Crossing the Delaware<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Leutze created three versions, two large and one small. The original work was kept at the Kunsthalle in Bremen, Germany but was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1942. The other large version, measuring a monumental 12 by 21 feet, can still be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The small version sold at Christie&#8217;s, a mere 40 x 68 inches, went for $39M (or $45M w\/p). Though\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Washington Crossing the Delaware<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0was the most well-known work at the sale, Pablo Picasso\u2019s bronze bust\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">T\u00eate de femme (Fernande)<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0was the highest-valued lot, valued by Christie\u2019s specialists at $30M to $50M. But despite the experts&#8217; high expectations, it only reached third place at $42M (or $48.5M w\/p). The top spot went to Jackson Pollock\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Number 31<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which, despite being on the small side for a prominent work by Pollock (31 x 22.5 inches), sold slightly above estimate for $47M (or $54.2M w\/p). The sale&#8217;s lone Van Gogh followed up close behind at $45M (or $51.9M w\/p). Van Gogh created the tree-dotted landscape, entitled <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Champs pr\u00e8s des Alpilles<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, in 1889 during his stint in Provence.

Regardless, I don\u2019t think anyone expected it to reach sixty-five times its high estimate. The hammer came down at $13M (or $15.2M w\/p), making it an auction record for Ernie Barnes. The last Barnes work to hold that title sold at Christie\u2019s last November, selling for $440K. In the 20th Century sale, forty-two lots brought in $401.5M, bringing the nightly total to $715M.
