“Our very first auction of the year was a tremendous success, the Berkeley Square saleroom was the busiest ever for an Editions sale, and we saw strong interest from the US on the phone bank and competitive bidding from Chinese collectors. Blue chip names continued to be very widely supported along with emerging artists. A very positive start to the year.” Robert Kennan, Head of Modern and Contemporary Editions, London.
