Genevieve Janvrin & Yuka Yamaji, Co-Heads of Photographs, Europe, said, “This season we presented the 11th edition of ULTIMATE, which was 96% sold and led by the top lot of the sale, Peter Beard’s 756 elephants. ULTIMATE also saw strong results for Wolfgang Tillmans, Idris Khan, Amanda Means, and Bastiaan Woudt, who made his auction debut. Confirming the continued global enthusiasm and demand for Latin American photography, we are thrilled to have established world auction records for Fernell Franco and Graciela Sacco. Reaffirming the global appeal for Modernist masters, the sale opened with a standout result for Constantin Brancusi, and concluding the sale was the Property of a Private European Collector, led by Thomas Struth’s Museo del Prado 3, Madrid.”
