    9,337,250 / $14,603,459 / 10,821,873 (estimate: 7 to 9 million) ( illustrated above). A selection of works offered from

    Christies theatre saw Jussi Pylkannen excelling in the face of an unprecedented volume of bidding fro m around the world.

    Some works carried up to fourteen phone lines, as the thirst for post-war & contemporary art continues to develop. Five

    world records were achieved, including for Peter Doig and Pierre Soulages, the new and the old masters in our field,

    alongside the consistent growth of the market for Basquiat, Bacon, Hockney and Richter. Christies was privileged to be able

    TOP LOT:Jean-Michel Basquiats Museum Security (Broadway Meltdown) sold for 9,337,250/ $14,603,459/ 10,821,873

    (estimate: 7,000,000-9,000,000). A world renowned masterpiece it was completed in 1983, at the very pinnacle of

    the artists ascent to international critical acclaim. Included in the Whitney Biennial in 1984, the painting was also

    exhibited in Basquiats second solo show at Gagosian in LA as well as in the most recent major retrospective of the

    artists work at the Fondation Beyeler, Basel. This extraordinary, large scale painting perfectly encapsulates the

    artists powerful downtown graffiti style and vocabulary that marks the very best works in his oeuvre.

    FURTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SALE:

    Gerhard Richters Abstraktes Bild(2004) sold for 8,441,250 / $13,202,115 / 9,783,409 (estimate on request). A

    majestic abstract painting and one of the most important examples from the artists late oeuvre, it demonstrates

    Richter having mastered his practice, recalling his opulent abstracts from the early 1990s including the suite of four

    Bach abstract paintings now housed in the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden and importantly prefiguring

    Richters major suite of Cage paintings (2006).

    Peter Doigs The Architects Home in the Ravine (1991) sold for 7,657,250 / $11,975,939 / 8,874,753 setting a

    new world record price for the artist at auction(estimate: 4,000,000-6,000,000). Formerly in the Saatchi Collection,

    this epic masterpiece dates from a pivotal moment in the artists career. It recreates Canadian architect Eberhard

    Zeidlers modernist home in Rosedale at the heart of the Toronto ravine. The work was painted shortly after Doigs

    graduation from the Chelsea College of Art and Design when he was awarded the prestigious Whitechapel Artist

    Prize culminating in a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1991. Many of the works from this period are

    now housed within international museum collections including: The House that Jacques Built (1992), Tel Aviv

    Museum of Art, Boiler House (1994), promised to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Ski Jacket(1994),

    Tate Modern, London. When it first appeared at auction in June 2002 in London, The Architects Home in the Ravine

    realised 314,650 setting a record price for the artist. It was sold again in New York in May 2007 when it fetched $3.6

    million.

    Francis Bacons Man in Blue VI (1954) sold for 4,969,250 / $7,771,907 / 5,759,361 (estimate: 4,000,000-

    6,000,000). The penultimate painting in Bacons seminal suite ofMan in Blue paintings (1954), Man in Blue VI is a

    stirring and profoundly perceptive portrait of existential, post-War Europe. Three paintings from this landmark series

    are now housed in museums including Man in Blue I, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Man in Blue IV,

    Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna and Man in Blue V, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein Westfalen,Dsseldorf. Man in Blue VI was acquired by the previous owner in 1971 for 31,000 and has been in their possession

    ever since.

    David Hockneys Great Pyramid at Giza with Broken Head from Thebes sold for 3,513,250 / $5,494,723 /

    4,071,857, becoming the 2nd

    highest price for the artist at auction (estimate: 2,500,000-3,500,000). A unique,

    landmark painting, it stands as the only canvas to commemorate Hockneys first trip to Egypt at the age of 26. Egypt

    had long been a source of fascination for Hockney, first appearing as a theme in his work as early as 1961. The

    fascination developed through his encounter with ancient Egyptian art at the Pergamon Museum, Berlin, as well as

    his admiration for Greek-Alexandrian poet Constantine P. Cavafy. It was only in 1963 however, at the age of twenty-

    six that Hockney was eventually to travel to the country. Forming part of an important British collection for more

    than forty years, this is the first time that this painting has ever been seen at auction. Christie's holds the currentauction record for Hockney with Beverly Hills Housewife which realized $7,922,500 in New York in May 2009.

    Allen Joness Table, Chair, Hatstandsold for 2,169,250 / $3,392,707 / 2,514,161, setting a world record price for

    a set by the artist at auction (estimate: 1,500,000-2,000,000). A true icon of Pop, this subversive mnage of

    sculptures was executed in 1969 at the height of the British artists career. Jones grew out of the wave of Pop art

    that was spreading across Britain and the United States during the Swinging Sixties. Schooled by Richard Hamilton

    at the Royal College of Art, he was one of a new generation of British artists including David Hockney challenging

    conventions and embracing their sexuality.

    Damien HirstsAway from the Flock (Divided) sold for 1,945,250 / $3,042,371 / 2,254,545 (estimate: 1,800,000-

    2,500,000). A single sheep, suspended within two perfectly proportioned Minimalist tanks, it is an early masterpiecefrom Hirsts celebrated Natural Historyseries. Created in 1995, the same year Damien Hirst was awarded the Turner

    Prize, this work follows in a sequence of important bisected Natural Historyworks. A key early work, Hirst created

    four versions ofAway from the Flock, with this work being the sole bisected example. The sheep has become an

    important symbol for Hirst: first realised in 1994 for the group exhibition curated by Hirst, Some Went Mad, Some

    Ran Away, at the Serpentine Gallery, London, Hirst created the seminal work Away from the Flock, now housed in

    the collection of Tate and National Galleries of Scotland.

    Darren Leak and Beatriz Ordovas, Co-Heads of the Day Auction: Christies London day auction of Post-War &Contemporary Art reconfirmed the depth of the bidding activity we saw during the evening sale. Buyers from 33 different countries on fivecontinents competed eagerly, setting five new world auction records, including those for Carroll Dunham and Nate Lowman. The Property of aDistinguished Lady performed particularly well, along with the works from the estate of Fiona Logsdal, which was 100% sold. Offered overboth the evening and the day auctions, a selection of 71 works from the renowned collection of Mrs. Ingvild Goetz totaled 6.7 million, triplingits pre-sale estimate. An additional 53 lots from the Goetz collection will be offered at Christie's South Kensington on 17 April 2013.
