This result was the second biggest in the career of the artist and a record for gallery sales

the Sale occurred on online-платформе gallery last Sunday, may 10, 2020. This result — the second largest amount given for the work of brown in public transactions. Record prices for paintings of this artist are $6.7 million, paid for the work Suddenly Last Summer, 1999 at a Sotheby's auction in may 2018. For the Gagosian gallery this sale — is the second largest of the Internet-сделок: in March 2019, during Art Basel Hong Kong, was sold painting by albert Helena for $6 million

In total, since mid-March this year, when closed for quarantine physical space of the gallery Gagosian on the platform managed to sell more than four dozen works, totaling about $14 million (including the sale of brown). This is the result of only the main online-пространства galleries, not counting the rest online-проектов, which also show a fairly stable and high results. Recall that a year ago Gagosian opened his own IT-департамент and invited Advisor for technological development of Zwilich Sebastian, former Executive Director of Artsy.

So, the project Artist Spotlight, in which during each of the weeks shown work or series of works of the artist from among those whose exhibitions in the gallery space or the appearance at the fair on the stands Gagosian was cancelled from-за pandemic, currently boasts 100% efficiency. To date, none of the work shown on the virtual "walls" online-галереи the project was left without a buyer.

I must say that as the extension of quarantine measures and the widespread conversion of major players in the art-рынка in virtual reality, the number of more expensive art objects and collectibles that appear in online-продаже increases exponentially. And everything goes to the fact that if quarantine measures will last for a few months and the trend continues, perhaps we will see record figures online-продаж counted not in millions but tens of millions of dollars.
