The recent Old Masters sales in New York yielded $4,206,748 for Sotheby's and $6,887,412 at Christie's.*
Standouts from the Christie's sale included a fragment of Galatea by Artemisia Gentileschi (pictured) which realised $428,400 over its $50k - $60k estimate, a very curious Agasse of Androcles and the Lion which reached $567,000 $100k - $150k estimate and a Lorenzo Veneziano gold ground which achieved $352,800 over its $80k - $120k estimate.
Highlights from the Sotheby's sale included a playful Francisca Rodero y Gregory composition which realised $215,900 over its $20k - $30k estimate, a nice early Titian copy which realised $104,140 over its $20k - $30k estimate and a Jan Olis interior with still life that made $107,950 over its $40k - $60k estimate.
