Please note all prices include buyer's premium. Sale session totals are net aggregate figures plus premiums. Sotheby's buyer's premium is
25% of the hammer price on the first $50,000, 20% of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000, and 12% thereafter on
each lot. **Estimates do not include buyer's premium**
“We are very pleased with the results of today’s sale, which echoed a number of themes that we saw last night,” commented Molly Ott
Ambler, Vice President and Head of Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art Day Sales and Elizabeth Goldberg, Senior Vice President
and Senior Specialist in Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art department. ”In an international market of increasingly savvy and selective
collectors, fresh works of great quality continue to perform strongly when estimated at attractive levels. This was perhaps best evidenced
by nine of the top ten lots achieving prices in excess of their pre-sale high estimates, in several cases by multiples. Sculpture proved
attractive again today as it did last night, with works across styles and periods by Alberto Giacometti, Jacques Lipchitz and Auguste
Rodin in our top ten, as well as a pair of wooden shoes carved by Paul Gauguin that brought $338,500, more than double their high
estimate.”
