Tamila Kerimova, Head of 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, said: “Building on our success in March in London and May in New York, we are proud to have delivered a strong season in London with a Day Sale total of £9.6 million. The middle market remains a vibrant area for collectors across the globe, and we saw a great depth of bidding for works by young and emerging artists. Notable prices were achieved for KAWS, Nicolas Party, Dana Schutz, Eddie Martinez and Oscar Murillo, this year’s Turner Prize nominee. We’re pleased for the result achieved for William Kentridge, whose exhibition A Poem That Is Not Our Own is currently on view at the Kunstmuseum in Basel. A series of records were established throughout the auction, including a new world record for Asli Özok. We look forward to July and our first London Online auction titled HEATWAVE.”
