The Contemporary New York series spotlights the defining art of today.
Our fall season brought together post-war masters, contemporary innovators and works with distinguished provenance across Post-War to Present, Up Close, Breaking Ground: The Private Collection of Marian Goodman and our online sale, Graphic Alchemist. Together, the four sales realised in excess of US$36.27 million, with spirited bidding throughout. Post-War to Present led the series at US$28.9 million, with new auction records for Anni Albers, Judy Chicago and Anicka Yi, alongside a series record for Gerhard Richter.
Graphic Alchemist: Works from the Estate of Frank Stella, closed achieving a total of US$1.8 million, more than doubling its low estimate. Further highlights included standout results for Frank Stella, Wayne Thiebaud, Donald Judd, Sam Gilliam and Josef Albers.
