Simon Tovey, Head of the New Now Sale in London, said:
“What a fantastic result. This marks a demand for the interesting and the accessible for both new and established artists alike. The sale was led by Gerhard Richter’s ‘Grün Blau Rot 789-5’ and complemented by solid results throughout. Presenting a sale where the well-known and the up and coming perform equally well respectively, cements this demand. We were pleased to see new auction records achieved throughout the sale for 14 artists including Stik, George Pusenkoff, and Santiago Sierra.”
