Picasso nude fetches over $67M, van Gogh brings in $54M at Day 2 of NYC’s fall auctions
NEW YORK, N.Y. – A nude portrait by Pablo Picasso has fetched over $67 million at an auction in New York.
“The Nightclub Singer” was purchased Thursday night at Sotheby’s sale of impressionist and modern artworks. It had been expected to sell in excess of $60 million.
Another highlight Thursday was Vincent van Gogh’s “Landscape Under a Stormy Sky. It sold for over $54 million, the low end of its pre-sale estimate of $50 million to $70 million.
The city’s fall art auction season got underway Wednesday with Sotheby’s auctioning $377 million worth of art from the estate of its late former owner. Seventy-seven works from the A. Alfred Taubman collection were sold.
The top bid Wednesday night went for Amedeo Modigliani’s “Paulette Jourdain,” which sold for $42.8 million, well above its $25 million estimate.
