Genevieve Janvrin and Yuka Yamaji, Co-Heads of Photographs, Europe, said: “An active room and a global audience participating online and by telephone responded positively to the wide range of material in our sale, resulting in strong prices for established artists such as Irving Penn, William Eggleston, and William Klein. Our exciting collaboration with Magnum Photos in this edition of ULTIMATE established world auction records for Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse, Cristina de Middel, and Newsha Tavakolian. Following our spring 2018 offering of POLAROIDS from the Piero Bisazza Collection, we were especially pleased to once again achieve 100% sell-through rate for the final presentation from this collection.”
