Hong Kong, 8 April 2009 -- Sotheby’s five-day Spring sales series at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre concluded today, totalling HK$691,153,000/ US$88,609,000. The series, which had been expected to bring in excess of HK$600 million/ US$76.9 million, offered 1,805 lots comprising Wine, Modern and Contemporary Asian Art, Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, Jewellery and Watches and solid prices were established across the board. The series was highlighted by the Company’s inaugural single-owner wine sale in Asia, which achieved triumphant results, the successful sale of eight Imperial treasures from a European Collection and particularly strong performances for Fine Chinese Paintings and 20th Century Chinese Art. The overall sold by lot rate for the series is 85%. |
Commenting on the series, Patti Wong, Chairman of Sotheby’s Asia, said: “Our Spring sales have given us many positive messages and clearly indicate that at this adjusted level, the Asian market is very active and strong for quality, attractively-priced works of art. In addition to the many new buyers from all over the world that we saw participating in our sales, we were also thrilled to see the return of many established collectors who recognise the value in the market today. It was exiting and satisfying to widen our selling categories this week with the introduction of regular wine sales in Hong Kong and the spectacular results for this sale are an affirmation of our decision to do this. This is a magnificent platform to move forward from in this area and we strive to serve our Asian clients better.” |

Sydney, April 22, 2008 – “Remarkable results were witnessed this evening at Sotheby’s, when every major lot leapt above estimate and records were established for a number of Australia’s most famous artists. Our clients continue to compete for rare and important Australian works of art.“ said Georgina Pemberton, Head of Australian Paintings and one of the auctioneer’s of tonight’s auction. “Five artist records were established this evening including $1,008,000 Ethel Carrick Fox’s Market, Under Trees, more than doubling the artist’s existing record. This sale reaffirms the experience of our offices world wide - the top end of the art market continues to be bullish and confident. Our focus will continue to be upon presenting the best art available for auction, at the high end of the market as we continue into 2008.” The sale also featured three masterpieces by Ian Fairweather, including Beach at Manicahan which sold for $960,000 (est: $400,000-600,000), breaking the previous record of $840,000. |
One of the few works to survive Fairweather’s Philippines sojourn of 1937-38 it was first purchased by Bruce Benjamin and has remained with the same family until now. Highlighting the 15 works included in this evenings sale from the Multiplex Collection, which brought $856,000 (est.: $686,000-1,032,000), was Sidney Nolan’s Bird which sold for $210,000 (est.: $150,000-250,000). This group of paintings from the 1950s and 60s was a tribute to the taste of the late John Roberts and the proceeds will be used to purchase works from young West Australian artists. Two Grace Cossington Smith’s galvanized the room into action, both selling for more than double their low estimates. Waratah sold for $33,600 (est.: $14,000-18,000) and Flannel Flowers and Gum Leaves sold for $31,200 (est.: $14,000-18,000). A further highlight was Charles Blackman’s Triptych which sold for $384,000 (est.: $180,000-250,000) and is one of the artist’s most impressive and beautiful 1960s paintings, and was believed to have been lost until now. |

LONDON, FEBRUARY 27th, 2008 – Sotheby’s Evening Sale of Contemporary Art achieved
£95,030,000 ($189,424,299), the highest total ever for any sale of Contemporary Art held in Europe,
against a pre-sale estimate of £72,025,000-£102,855,000. Records were set for six artists.
The top lot in tonight’s sale was Francis Bacon’s Study of Nude with Figure in a Mirror, 1969, a rare full-length portrait of the artist’s close friend Henrietta Moraes, which achieved £19,956,500 ($39,779,291) selling to a European private collector bidding on the telephone. This remarkable price follows last year’s record $52,680,000 (£26,581,895) for the artist at auction, achieved for Study From Innocent X at Sotheby’s New York in May 2007. The saleroom broke into applause when Gerhard Richter’s sublime Photo Painting Kerze (Candle), from 1983, sold for the spectacular price of £7,972,500 ($15,891,584) – more than three times its presale high estimate of £2,500,000. |
This remarkable price came after eleven bidders competed for the work. The result immediately followed another success for the artist, when Struktur (1979) achieved £4,612,500 ($9,194,096), after pursuit by eight bidders and gasps from the audience. A work widely regarded as one of Lucio Fontana’s masterpieces, Concetto Spaziale, La Fine di Dio dating from 1963, achieved a record £10,324,500 ($20,579,826) for a work by the artist at auction. The result was significantly in excess of its pre-sale low-estimate of £4,000,000. The egg-shaped canvas was one of only two gold works in this series. Pursued by five bidders, its price saw the saleroom once again erupt into applause. The phenomenal result saw Fontana become the second European Post War artist, after Francis Bacon, to break the £10 million barrier at auction. Three Self Portraits (1986) by Andy Warhol achieved £11,444,500 ($22,812,322). This rare trinity of canvases in the colours of the American flag, came from the artist’s only ever exhibition devoted to selfportraits, held at the Anthony d’Offay Gallery, London in 1986. In tonight's sale, Chinese Contemporary Art of the highest quality by some of the most important artists living and working in China today, achieved a total of £5,978,700 ($11,917,343). Zhang Xiaogang’s Big Family No. 1, executed in 2001 - by far the largest work by the artist to come to auction to date and the culmination of the artist’s ‘Bloodlines’ series - was the top selling lot of the section, selling for £1,700,500 ($3,389,607) against an estimate of £1,500,000-2,000,000. Other works in the section that also performed well include Comrades by Zhang Xiaogang, which commanded £1,140,500 ($2,273,359), Yan Pei-Ming's Silver Bruce Lee - the first image of the Kung Fu icon ever to appear at auction - which brought £692,500 ($1,380,360) and Fools in the Night by Yue Minjun, which sold for £916,500 ($1,826,859). |

Wednesday, December 5, 2007 – Tonight at Sotheby’s in London, Joseph Mallord William Turner’s
(1775-1851) watercolour, Bamborough Castle, sold for £2,932,500, against a pre-sale estimate of £1.5-2.5
million* to a US private collector who was bidding on the phone.
Four telephone bidders competed for the iconic work, driving the price comfortably in excess of its pre-sale
high estimate. Tonight’s result ranks Bamborough Castle among the most important of Turner’s works ever
sold at auction.
Dating from the mid 1830s, Turner’s Bamborough Castle has spent most of its life to date in the possession of a distinguished private collection and, remarkably, it had not been seen on the open market since 1872 - some 135 years. In 1872 it was sold as part of the Joseph Gillott collection in London and realised £3,309, the highest price ever achieved for a watercolour at the time. The Earl of Dudley was the purchaser on this occasion but later - in about 1890 - the picture passed into the hands of one of the great American collecting families, that of the Vanderbilts. The Vanderbilt family played a significant role in the history of the United States; they built a shipping and railroad empire during the 19th century which made them one of the wealthiest families in the world. Since entering the collection of Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt, the watercolour had passed down through successive generations of the family while the outside world has remained mystified as to its whereabouts. Listed as untraced in Andrew Wilton’s Catalogue of Turner Watercolours published in 1979, the work – prior to the sale exhibition - had not been seen in public since 1889. |
Joseph Mallord William Turner’s (1775-1851) watercolour: Bamborough Castle auctioned at Sothebys for £2,932,500
|
|
Perched on an outcrop on the very edge of the North Sea at Bamborough, Northumberland, Bamborough Castle is one of England’s finest castles. In his watercolour, Turner has chosen to show the castle from its north side, the angle which clearly portrays the height and presence of the castle’s impressive Norman walls. The formidable castle is serenely depicted as the one point of safety in the midst of a charged landscape. In the foreground, a woman and girl appear to cower from the large roiling waves while a ship struggles to reach the security of the land under the great storm clouds. In the 19th century the castle had a reputation for being one of the great places of refuge on the British coast during storms for sailors in distress. It actually had rooms within the walls that were put aside for rescued sailors as well as a marine rescue party that constantly patrolled an eight-mile stretch of the coast north and south of the castle. |
Turner was a great admirer of such details and he captures the castle’s preparations with a rocket launched in the distance and people gathered at the waters-edge, ready to rescue the sailors who are rowing away from their vessel that has struck the massive rocks. The watercolour, which measures 505x705mm, relates to an earlier pencil drawing of the castle from 1797. The work has all of Turner’s signature elements; his energetic handling of colour which is often applied in rapid scratch-like strokes, or smeared into place with his fingertips, or scratched away with the tip of a brush to reveal the paper beneath. Tonight’s result follows the sale of the Ullens Collection at Sotheby’s in July this year, which saw Turner’s Lungernzee realise £3.6 million. Spanning 44 years of the artist’s career, the 14 works offered in the Ullens collection represented the finest group of watercolours by the artist to have come to the market since the 1920s. |

EVENING SALE OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN
NEW YORK BRINGS $315,907,000,
ABOVE THE HIGH ESTIMATE
FRANCIS BACON’S SECOND VERSION OF STUDY FOR BULLFIGHT NO. 1, 1969, COMMANDS $45.9 MILLION
The cover lot of the sale, Jeff Koons’ spectacular Hanging Heart (Magenta and Gold), 1994-2006, one of the most important works by Koons ever offered at auction, sold to Gagosian Gallery to applause for $23,561,000, a record for the living artist at auction and also for the artist (lot 14, est. $15/20 million). previous record was for Damien Hirst’s pill cabinet, Lullaby Spring, which sold for $19.2 million at Sotheby’s London in June. The price almost reached the record for a Contemporary sculpture, currently held by David Smith’s Cubi XXVIII, which sold for $23.8 million at Sotheby’s New York in November 2005. |
The brilliant magenta heart and gold undulating bow, which took ten years from conception to completion, is one of five uniquely colored versions of this dazzling work from Koons’ famed Celebration series. The perfect surface is coated in more than ten layers of paint. Executed in high chromium stainless steel, Hanging Heart weighs over 3,500 pounds, is almost nine feet tall and took over 6,000 man hours to produce. The sale also featured two works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, including his large-scale canvas, Untitled (Electric Chair) from 1981-82, watershed years for the artist, which sold for $11,801,000 (lot 16, est. $8/10 million). Untitled (Electric Chair), offered by a Foundation, was selected and purchased prior to completion from Basquiat’s first dealer Annina Nosei Gallery, New York. The work went into the collection of a Foundation, where it has remained ever since; this is the first time the work appeared on the market since it was painted in the artist’s studio in the basement of the Nosei Gallery. Also offered by the same Foundation were works by post-war sculptors, including Donald Judd’s Untitled, 1977, which brought $7,433,000 (lot 26, est. $6/8 million) and John Chamberlain’s Big E, 1962, which achieved $4,633,000 (lot 11, est. $2/3 million), both records from the artist at auction. Another Untitled work by Basquiat from 1981, which depicted one of the most engaging and combative warrior-figure paintings of the artist’s early years, sold for $7,769,000 (lot 48, est. $7/9 million). Highlighting the 15 works included in the evening sale from a Distinguished Private Collection, which brought $33.4 million (est. $29.9/40.8 million), was Andy Warhol’s Self Portrait (Green Camouflage), 1986, from his last series of self-portraits, which sold for $12,361,000 (lot 47, est. $9/12 million). Other works featured from this offering include Ellsworth Kelly’s Spectrum VI, 1969, formerly from the collection of the curator of 20th century at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Henry Geldzahler, and related to Spectrum V, currently in the Collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which sold for $5,193,000, a record for the artist at auction (lot 23, est. $4.5/6 million). Alexander Calder’s Untitled, 1935, a rare early wood and wire sculpture, similar to those in the Collections of the Tate Modern and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, sold for $4,409,000 (lot 34, est. $2.5/3.5 million).
Other works by Andy Warhol which brought strong prices included his Campbell’s Soup Can (Pepper Pot), 1962, which sold for $8,441,000 (lot 41, est. $7/9 million). This classic pop painting combines
4
Warhol’s keen graphic sensibility with his use of an appropriated image in the manner of Jasper Johns’ flag and target paintings. This work was formerly in the collection of Emily and Burton Tremaine, who had one of the foremost collections of avant-garde and contemporary art on the East coast from the 1950s through early 1980s. Also by Warhol from his Death and Disaster series was Four Jackies, 1964, which achieved $5,641,000 (lot 13, est. $4/6 million), and Suicide, 1964, which brought $5,193,000 (lot 12, est. $3.5/4.5 million).
Works by Chinese Contemporary artists brought strong prices, including Zhang Xiaogang’s Family Portrait, 1994, which sold for $4,969,000 (lot 68, est. $2.5/3.5 million) and Fang Lijun’s Series 2, No. 6, 1991-92, which brought $4,073,000 (lot 65, est. $800,000/1.2 million). |

TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 2007 -- Claude Monet’s Nymphéas of 1904, a ground-breaking work and one of the finest of Monet’s famous waterlily series ever to have come to the market, tonight realised £18,500,000 ($36,724,350) at Sotheby’s in London. No fewer than eight determined bidders drove the price from £8 million up to the final figure, when the hammer fell to a private Asian collector bidding over the telephone. This was the second highest price ever achieved for a work by the artist at auction. (The previous record of £19.8 ($33 million) was achieved for Bassin aux Nymphéas of 1900 at Sotheby’s London in 1998). The Monet was the top lot in a sale which realised £80,395,200 ($159,592,512) – the third highest total for a sale of Impressionist and Modern Art at Sotheby’s London. The sale also set a benchmark in terms of the average lot price realised in any single session: the average lot price of £2.17 million is unprecedented in any auction ever held in London.
