This June, 20th/21st Century: London to Paris has kicked off with the current running total at £226,852,375/€262,695,050 across four sales.

In celebration of the cultural dialogue between London and Paris, the headline auctions led the series on 28 June, starting with Marc Chagall, Colour of Life: Works Formerly from the Artist’s Estate – where several of the fresh-to-market works soared far above their high estimate. Followed by the 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale and 20th/21st Century: Paris Evening Sale, outstanding results were achieved by Claude Monet’s Waterloo Bridge, effet de brume and Nymphéas, temps gris, Yves Klein’s 1960 Anthropométrie de l’époque bleue (ANT 124) and Sculpture éponge rose sans titre, (SE 207), Jeff Koons’s Balloon Monkey (Magenta) and Pierre Soulage’s Peinture 143 x 202 cm, 4 décembre 1970, amongst other remarkable works. Continuing the following day with exceptional works and results, the Impressionist and Modern Art Day and Works on Paper Sale was led by Paul Gauguin’s Vue de Rouen.
