Bright spots in the heavily guaranteed auction included a £15m Basquiat and competition for the collection of Ralph I. Goldenberg

Works by Jean Paul Riopelle, Emily Carr, Tom Thomson and other titans of Canadian art history contributed to the evening’s total take of C$22.6m

The reassuring result was a marked increase from last year's equivalent auction—despite a cyberattack that has taken down the auction house's website

The 20th/21st century and Art of the Surreal auctions were up 18.5% by value on their March 2023 versions

The 27-lot sale brought in £10.9m without fees after three works were pulled and another three failed to sell

The auction house made £82m before fees and set records for Etel Adnan and Takako Yamaguchi

The two-part auction, coinciding with the centenary of Riopelle's birth, took in $17.2m in total

The auction, spanning Monet to Miró, made $190.3m—just above its low estimate—and was preceded by the record-breaking sale of a Ferrari car

Swan song of veteran auctioneer Jussi Pylkkänen made $640.8m—the house's highest total for a non-single-owner sale in six years

The evening's total take of $406.4m was a sign of a stability—albeit one under-girded by guarantees and third-party backing—in a jittery market

Results offered at least modest reassurance at the house’s premier Frieze Week auction

The evening kicked off with a sale of 20th- and 21st-century art, followed by works from the collection of the late businessman Sam Josefowitz

The auction house’s The Now sale of ultra-contemporary art was a success, but its marquee contemporary art sale came up well short of expectations

The auction house made £53.9m (with fees) from 38 lots, and saw a new record established for Fra Angelico

Few big-ticket consignments and New York's turbo-charged May sales marred tonight's performance

The Canadian auction house also saw strong results from works by members of the Group of Seven and a soaring Warhol print

The firm’s Modern art evening sale and single-owner Mo Ostin auction brought in a below-estimate hammer total of $363.9m, or $427m with fees

The auction house’s bottom line benefitted from the strong performance of works from the collections of S.I. Newhouse and Paul G. Allen

Two-part sale spanning Impressionism to the ultra-contemporary had few headline lots—but Brexit is not to blame, auction house specialists maintain

The white-glove sale brought in nearly $1.4m (with fees) across 64 lots, including rare portraits and works by Andy Warhol

The auction house’s first “The One” sale in New York included a mix of ancient artefacts and modern memorabilia organised into thematic sections

The auction house’s four-part auction extravaganza was a decidedly mixed bag, bringing a total of $74.5m across 124 lots

Despite works the collection of film producer Jacqui Eli Safra that were enticingly offered with no reserves, the auction house’s two marquee sales fell short of expectations

The epic evening saw strong results from a wide-ranging, two-part offering that spanned the 1880s to this year

The firm’s contemporary and “The Now” evening auctions totalled a combined $314.9m and notched new best prices for Barbara Kruger, Betye Saar and Elizabeth Peyton

The measured result, which slightly surpassed its low estimate and the total take from the same sale last year, was bolstered by a late Cy Twombly that fetched $41.6m

The auction house held a competitive, white-glove single-owner sale and a lacklustre modern art sale on Monday night

A $149.2m Seurat studio scene and $137.7m Cézanne landscape led the 60-lot, white glove sale

A Japanese museum made a major purchase during an evening auction that also saw strong results for a diminutive dog portrait and enormous bird statues

Led by a £20.8m Hockney and £11.2m Richter, the white-glove sale saw competitive bidding across categories and records smashed for younger artists’ works
