Amazing Auctions.
The world's most incredible auctioneers in Action.

The top lot was Paul Signac’s Pointillist Calanque des Canoubiers (Pointe de Bamer), Saint-Tropez. Created in 1896, the work captures the artist’s love affair with the French coastline in luminescent brushstrokes. ‘Happiness — that is what I have just discovered,’ he wrote to his mother when he first visited Saint-Tropez.
Christie’s Global President and auctioneer Jussi Pylkkänen fielded competitive phone bidding which saw the work sell for £8,015,000, a fitting sequel to the record-breaking $39 million sale of Signac’s Concarneau, calme du matin (Opus no. 219, larghetto), from the collection of Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen at Christie’s in November last year.

Collectors from around the world convened in London today for Christie’s 20th/21st Century Evening Sale.

Sixty-one lots sold in two hours, achieving a total of £63,824,100.

Registered bidders from 39 countries, with an average of three competing for each lot, helped to achieve a strong sell-through rate of 92 per cent by lot and 91 per cent by value — testament to the depth of bidding throughout the sale, driven by appealing estimates and an appetite for works not previously seen at auction.
