Avery Semjen, Specialist, Head of New Now New York, said, “The results from today’s New Now: Modern & Contemporary Art auction – the first live sale of the season here in New York – confirm a solid middle market as we begin the fall season. We saw enthusiastic participation from six continents, with great depth of bidding for works spanning the art historical canon. From Bill Traylor’s Untitled (Woman, Green Blouse, Black Bag), which soared past its estimate to $38,100, to Sara Anstis’ tremendous auction debut at $53,340, to Daisy Parris’ I'd Rather Get No Sleep Next To You Than Sleep Alone, which set a new artist record at over twelve times its estimate, it was wonderful to see demand for exceptional works. We are also proud to have set records for Peter Cain and Moira Dryer, among others, in today’s auction. We welcome our collectors to bid in our online-only auction, open through 3 October, and also look forward to continuing the momentum through our London Modern & Contemporary Art sales in October.”
