The auction\u2019s top lot, predicted by Sotheby\u2019s specialists as such, was a large triptych by Jean-Michel Basquiat called <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Portrait of the Artist as a Young Derelict<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The painting caught some attention in the press mainly because of something that rarely happens to a Basquiat painting; it seems to have decreased in value, according to Sotheby\u2019s. The painting\u2019s owner consigned it to Christie\u2019s in 2022, where it would appear in their New York Contemporary Evening sale that May. However, the seller withdrew the painting shortly before the auction took place. Christie\u2019s expected it to sell more than $30 million. Over two years later, Sotheby\u2019s reassessed its value and gave it an estimated range of \u00a315 million to \u00a320 million. There was no great bidding war, as it took fifteen seconds for the winning bid to come through, with forty-four seconds spent on the lot. It sold for its low estimate at \u00a315 million \/ $19 million (or \u00a316 million \/ $20.36 million w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54519\" style=\"width: 280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-4.50.57-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54519\" class=\"wp-image-54519\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-4.50.57-PM-300x207.png\" alt=\"A cubist still-life by Picasso of a guitar on a red tablecloth sold at Sotheby's\" width=\"270\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-4.50.57-PM-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-4.50.57-PM-1024x705.png 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-4.50.57-PM-768x529.png 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-4.50.57-PM.png 1208w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Guitare sur un tapis rouge<\/em> by Pablo Picasso<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Behind the Basquiat was one of Pablo Picasso\u2019s cubist still-lifes from 1922, entitled <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Guitare sur un tapis rouge<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. It was previously in the collection of Walter P. Chrysler Jr., founder of the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia, and son of the auto industry executive Walter Chrysler. The painting was last sold at Christie\u2019s London in 2004 for \u00a31.8 million w\/p. The Picasso started at \u00a38 million, making its way up to \u00a39.3 million \/ $11.8 million (or \u00a310.7 million \/ $13.6 million w\/p) before running out of gas and the hammer coming down, falling slightly short of its \u00a310 million low estimate &#8211; not a bad increase over the past 20 years. Behind the Picasso was one of the several Renoir paintings featured in the sale. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bouquet de lilas<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> was the first of four Renoir paintings available at Sotheby\u2019s on Tuesday, this one an 1878 floral still-life. The painting has a long history of bouncing around between galleries, dealers, and private collectors, including Georges Petit, Galerie Durand-Ruel, and Lionel Pissarro. It last sold at auction at Sotheby\u2019s New York in 1987 for $852.5K w\/p. Unlike the Basquiat and the Picasso, which sold at or slightly below their minimum estimates relatively quickly, the Renoir attracted quite a bit of attention. Bidding started at \u00a31.3 million, and things slowly but steadily chugged along, with the painting surpassing its high estimate after just under three minutes. After eight minutes of bidding, the Renoir sold for \u00a35.8 million \/ $7.4 million (or \u00a36.88 million \/ $8.7 million w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_54520\" style=\"width: 217px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-at-6.27.01-AM.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54520\" class=\"wp-image-54520\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-at-6.27.01-AM-248x300.png\" alt=\"A still-life of flowers in a white vase on a table\" width=\"207\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-at-6.27.01-AM-248x300.png 248w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-at-6.27.01-AM-845x1024.png 845w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-at-6.27.01-AM-768x931.png 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-at-6.27.01-AM.png 1076w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-54520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Bouquet de lilas<\/em> by Pierre-Auguste Renoir<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There were not many surprises at Sotheby\u2019s, but one painting towards the end <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">seemed to draw<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> more attention than expected. <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/sothebys-md.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/617d58d\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/1851x2000+0+0\/resize\/2048x2213!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsothebys-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fmedia-desk%2F0a%2F83%2Fabcea9ca4d5083ce8c1c5f84a6c9%2Fl24006-d2hj3-cs-1-cropped.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Autoportrait en blanc<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> by Fran\u00e7oise Gilot is a self-portrait of the artist created in 1944.

The success of the Gilot self-portrait reminded me somewhat of a different painting by the artist that <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2024\/04\/christies-paris-impressionist-oeuvres-choisies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">sold at Christie\u2019s Paris in April<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Le Concert Champ\u00eatre<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> selling for \u20ac1.3 million hammer was a far more important moment than you might expect. It signaled Gilot\u2019s increasing acceptance in the European market. Most of Gilot\u2019s success came from the United States, where she moved after ending her relationship with Pablo Picasso. Though not as significant of a moment as <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Le Concert Champ\u00eatre<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> selling in Paris, the Gilot\u2019s success in London proves that the artist\u2019s reputation in Europe is drastically improving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Overall, Sotheby\u2019s did rather well. Of the fifty available lots on Tuesday, nineteen sold within their estimates, giving Sotheby\u2019s specialists a 38% accuracy rate. An additional sixteen (32%) sold under estimate, and eleven (22%) sold above. With only four lots failing to sell, Sotheby\u2019s achieved a 92% sell-through rate. Furthermore, the house did relatively well in terms of its total, adding up to \u00a372 million \/ $91.4 million against the low presale estimate of \u00a369.57 million.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sotheby\u2019s London hosted their Modern &amp; Contemporary evening sale on Tuesday, June 25th, featuring paintings, drawings, and sculptures mainly by nineteenth- and twentieth-century European and North American artists.
