A world of color for the Open Summer Edition held in London: an auction that highlighted the continuous and growing interest in contemporary and post-war art.
Sara Pritchard, Associate Specialist, head of the first Open Sale, Post-War & Contemporary Art, said: “Across the board, the success of this sale is due to the extraordinary range of works on offer, with a particular focus on strong examples from artists underrepresented in the secondary market, including new artist records for Jack Bush, Ronald Davis and Ron Gorchov and outstanding achievements for Dorothy Dehner and Dan Christensen”.
