Pedram Rasti, Head of Department, Christie’s London: “Provenance and rarity were the hallmarks of this sale which drew fierce competition throughout, realising £11,875,150 and far exceeding the pre-sale high estimate. The top ten lots reflect the quality of works sourced from private European collections and attracting private international buyers. Many of these collections and additional private collections will be offered throughout Christie’s Asian Art Week in London (14-17 May).”
