Yesterday in London the Impressionist and Modern works of Christie ' s , which yielded 63 428 750 pounds (91 210 543 dollarf), with estimeyte 58,8-86 million pounds. Like last February 3, auction Sotheby's , this auction with a clean conscience can be called successful. Of the 47 works were sold to 39, with 16 of them went for amounts in excess of a million pounds, but 25 jumped the bar of one million dollars.

Four of the five top lots, which ARTinvestment.RU described in his review , find buyers. The most expensive work has become a predictable pattern «On the meadow» painted by Claude Monet (Claude Monet). And it is - one of the few lots not dotyanuvshih to the lower limit estimeyta: Christie's experts estimated it at 15 million pounds, but it has 11.2 million (16 million) *. This price suggested by the representative of the Paris office Christie's, which gave guidance on an anonymous telephone buyer. Well, at least, 16 million dollars - more than 15.4 million (the amount of such picture was sold at New York's Sotheby's in 1999). Incidentally, during the last art boom - in June 1988 - the work of Monet was sold at Sotheby's for the entire 14.3 million pounds.

painting «At the meadow» was one of the four-and post-Impressionist works that are exhibited at Christie's a collector from Europe. From the same assembly occurs wonderful picture of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec) «The excluded (two friends)», which was sold in estimeyta - for 6.2 million pounds (8.8 million dollars). She also bought a representative of Christie's in Paris. It should be noted that in May 2000, Toulouse-Lautrec canvas took on New York's Sotheby's auction for 9.4 million dollars. Other well-known results of repeat sales are the picture «turkeys. Pont-Aven »Brushes Paul Gauguin (Paul Gauguin). Yesterday, it was sold for 2 million pounds (2.9 million dollars), while at Christie's in May 1998 it had 2.8 million dollars.

In fact, at yesterday's auction sellers of «modern» rejoiced more than those who exhibited works «Impressionist». In the second place in the list of the most expensive lots, overtaking canvas Toulouse-Lautrec, climbed picture «Two girls» Amedeo Modigliani (Amedeo Modigliani), pushed for 6.5 million pounds (9.3 million dollars) at estimeyte 3,5-5, 5 million. At the hands of the seller played rare genre: for all his career handsome Italian artist wrote a total of five double portraits. Interestingly, at Sotheby's February 3, another rare picture of Modigliani, «Caryatid», has been sold to: Perhaps this is due to the fact that «Girls» more likeable, and estimeyt they had too.

Excellent results showed a bilateral pattern of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner «Three Horse /Landscape»: when estimeyte at 300-500 thousand pounds, she had almost 960 thousand (1.36 million dollars). American journalists frequently used in relation to the works of Kirchner epithet hot - «Hot Gizmo», bearing in mind the fact that demand is very high. At the same Sotheby's February 3, picture German artist «Street Scene» left over 5.4 million pounds and placed second in the list of the most expensive works.

Remarkable results have also shown canvases fovista Kees van Dongen (Kees van Dongen), which will be traded a French collector. All four paintings passed the threshold of one million pounds. The most expensive work of Van Dongen became a portrait of a dancer under the name «Golden corset», which brought 2.9 million pounds (4.1 million dollars) in the evaluation of 1,5-2,5 million pounds. In 1980, the painting was sold at Christie's for 315 thousand dollars. Another picture of the artist, «A woman with two necklaces», far exceeded the upper estimeyt: experts evaluated it in 300-600 thousand pounds, as much as it had 1.33 million (1.9 million dollars).

Another blockbuster was the picture «dressmaker» member of the group «Nabi» Vyuyara Edouard (Edouard Vuillard), pushed for 5 million pounds (7.2 million dollars) at estimeyte 4,5-6,5 million pounds.

It is impossible not to note the success of paintings Joan Miro (Joan Miró) «A woman hears the cock crow in the halo of purple», which went for 892 thousand pounds (1.27 million dollars) in the evaluation of 500-700 thousand. February 3, at Sotheby's similar «Miro», the same period, has become one of the top lots, surpassing the upper estimeyt (1 million pounds) in half.

As we can see, almost all works of art that are included in the list of Top-20 lots of auction Christie's, sold either in estimeyta or above estimeyta.
