Rebecca Tooby-Desmond auctioneering during the David Hockney sale
Robert Kennan, Head of Editions, Europe, said, “David Hockney's enduring appeal is clear! This White Glove sale exceeded all expectations, surpassing the presale estimate by a significant margin. With a sell-through rate of 100% by lot and nearly 30% of the sale setting new auction records, this result stands as a testament to Hockney's extraordinary artistic legacy and global appeal. From his early Bradford School of Art lithographs to his groundbreaking iPad creations, the breadth of Hockney's work was on full display. Notably, The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire in 2011 took a prominent lead. We're thrilled that this annual Hockney sale has found a permanent place in our Editions auction calendar. This sale not only celebrates Hockney's expansive body of work, but it also underscores our deep commitment to contemporary edition collecting.”

Susanna Brockman auctioneering during the Evening & Day Editions sale
Rebecca Tooby-Desmond, Specialist, Head of Sale, and Auctioneer, said, “The Editions team is thrilled to announce this result of over £2.8 million, marked by strong sell-through rates and several auction records. This result builds on the momentum generated by our streak of ten-year anniversary auctions held here in London. It’s heartening to witness the unwavering enthusiasm of the global Editions collecting community, with almost 1,000 bidders from 52 countries participating in this week’s auctions. We saw particularly spirited competition for American Pop art, with works by iconic figures such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Indiana commanding prices well above their high estimates, exemplifying the enduring appeal and influence of these artists. We look forward to continuing this exciting momentum with our October New York Editions auctions, followed by our inaugural dedicated Pablo Picasso auction in London this November.”
