Sotheby’s back-to-back sales of British and modern and contemporary art in London today made a respectable £156.2 million ($217 million) across 83 lots, a total comfortably within the pre-sale estimate of £119.7 million to £170.3 million ($165.7 million to $235.7 million).
The British sale accounted for £48 million ($67 million), with 30 of 34 lots sold (another work was withdrawn before the sale). That total exceeded the original high estimate of £46.8 million ($65 million), published before the lot was withdrawn.
