The 14th edition of ULTIMATE was 100% sold, highlighted by a world auction record for Bastiaan Woudt, and a record for the remarkable photograph Leap Into the Void from 1960 by Yves Klein, Harry Shunk and János Kender. ULTIMATE IRVING PENN was also 100% sold, with the curated selection of ten fresh-to-market works exceeding their collective high estimate by 162% and achieving the top four auction prices for Irving Penn’s Small Trades series. All of the 22 powerful works selected to benefit the Ian Parry Scholarship sold, ensuring their continued support of young photojournalists and the future of authentic storytelling for the next generation.”
