Sale Total: £3,424,174 / $4,258,988 / €4,000,462
Charlotte Gibbs, Head of New Now, London, said, “We are very pleased with our sale total of over £3 million. It was wonderful to see such spirited international bidding, with over 50 countries participating on the phone, online, and in the saleroom. Wade Guyton led the top ten alongside fantastic pieces by Invader, Eddie Martinez, and Francis Alÿs. The enthusiasm for Guyton’s U Sculpture (V. 5) propelled it past the £60,000 high estimate to an impressive £203,200. We were proud of the four world auction records achieved, including the result for Leonard Baby. We look forward to our next Modern & Contemporary Art sales, which will take place in New York on 14 & 15 May.”
