What Happened in New York, March 2024: The mid-season sales saw the previou=

Results
M=C3=A9tayer Mermoz sale of S.H. Raza painting for =E2=82=AC4.75 million
On Sunday, Indian Progressive painter S.H Raza=E2=80=99s Paysage Agrieste f=
rom 1961 was sold at M=C3=A9tayer Mermoz auction house in Antibes. The work=
 was offered with a =E2=82=AC400,000 estimate. Raza spent a substantial por=
tion of his career painting in France having moved there in 1950. He eventu=
ally married a French artist. The six-foot wide work made at the height of =
Raza=E2=80=99s early abstract work was bought for =E2=82=AC4.75 million ($5=
=2E18M.) The work  was bought in 1965 a=
nd has been in the South of France eve=
r since but the Raza Foundation was able to find evidence of its authentici=
ty in the archives of Raza=E2=80=99s Paris gallery Lara Vincy which means t=
he painting will be included in Raza=E2=80=99s catalogue raisonn=C3=A9. Acc=
ording to auctioneer Guillaume Mermoz, the buyer=E2=80=99s are in India whe=
re the work will be returning. Like Zao Wou-ki, whose working life was spen=
t in France, there seems to be a growing interest in repatriating Raza=E2=
=80=99s work to South Asia.=20
SH Raza=E2=80=99s Busy Week
The next day, Sotheby=E2=80=99s held its Modern & Contemporary South Asian =
Art sale in New York where the top lot by estimate and by premium price was=
 S.H. Raza=E2=80=99s Kallist=C3=A9 from 1959. Similar in palette and style =
to Paysage Agrieste, the painting was bid to more than twice the estimate m=
aking a final price of $5.6 million with fees. The stretcher has stamps fro=
m Raza=E2=80=99s gallery in Paris Lara Vincy as well as Lanyon Gallery in P=
alo Alto where Raza exhibited while teaching at Berkeley in 1962. The Calif=
ornia collectors who consigned the painting have owned it for 60 years.=C2=

Sotheby=E2=80=99s South Asian Results
South Asian Modern art has been on a tear for the better part of a year. Th=
e category seems to be riding high on the booming Indian economy and the su=
pport of some of India's richest families like the Ambanis. (Yes, the ones =
with the big pre-wedding party where Rihanna performed earlier this month.)=
 Sotheby=E2=80=99s held two sales yesterday in the category. The first was =
a single-owner collection from Virginia and Ravi Akhoury=E2=80=94a retired =
investment executive who trained at SUNY Stonybrook when famed investor Jam=
es Simons taught there=E2=80=94estimated at $1.2 million that sold for more=
 than twice the estimates to total $3,462,655. The various-owners sale had =
$6.7 million in estimated value but sold for almost twice that to make $16.=
3 million with fees.=C2=A0 According to LiveArt=E2=80=99s data, 72% of the =
lots offered were sold for more than the estimates, a clear sign of market =
that is advancing rapidly. Sotheby=E2=80=99s toured these objects to India =
and the effort paid off. Christie=E2=80=99s sale takes place tomorrow and w=

What Happened in New York, March 2024
New York Mid-Season Sales report
The art market, especially the Contemporary market which has been driven by=
 demand for works by artists with emerging markets for several years now, i=
s in the midst of an aggressive shift. Some early indications suggest the m=
arket is moving toward historical work from overlooked artists and work at =
lower price points. But it remains far too early to tell what the broadest =
market impulse will be.=C2=A0
According to LiveArt=E2=80=99s data, the March mid-season Post War and Cont=
emporary art sales in New York fell from $95.5 million in total for 2023 to=
 $52.6 million in 2024, or 45% by value with nearly the same number of lots=
 offered.  It is probably too soon to tell if the market has reached a bott=
om.=C2=A0
This year, 719 lots were initially offered with an aggregate low estimate o=
f $51.9 million. Before the sale, 19 lots were withdrawn with an aggregate =
low estimate of just under $4 million. Last year the same figures were 734 =
lots with an aggregate low estimate of=C2=A0 $73 million. Before the sale, =
four lots were withdrawn with an aggregate low estimate of $585,000.=C2=A0
In 2023, the sell-through rate was 82.5%; this year, it fell to 77%. In 202=
3, the hammer ratio for these sales was 1.05, not a strong number but much =
more aggressive than the weak .87 seen in these sales this year. The 2023 e=
dition of these sales had two collections being sold as featured events in =
the sales cycle; this year, a significant amount of the property was held o=
ver from marquee collections sold in 2023 like Emily Fisher Landau, Chara S=
treyer and Gerald Fineberg.=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0
In a down market there seems to be a fixation on withdrawn lots. The assump=
tion that lots are only withdrawn to protect an auction house=E2=80=99s sal=
e statistics=E2=80=94which seems to predominate among some commentators=E2=
=80=94is impossible to verify. Last Summer, the London sales saw a large nu=
mber of lots withdrawn due to a legal dispute. The commentary treated the w=
ithdrawn lots as a harbinger of a down market but the London sales were sta=
ble within the context of the entire year. In these sales, 19 lots were wit=
hdrawn with a $3.995 million estimated value or 8.5% of the total pre-sale =
estimated value. Thirteen of the 19 lots=E2=80=94and 75% of the value=E2=80=
=94were at Sotheby=E2=80=99s which did have the highest hammer ratio and se=
ll-through rate among the three houses. (Feel free to drawn your own conclu=
sions from that.) Without the withdrawn lots, the overall hammer ratio for =
these sales would have dropped from the weak 0.87 posted to an even weaker =
0.80.
The fact that more than 40% of the sold lots went for prices that were belo=
w the low estimate also supports the idea that the Post War and Contemporar=
y art market has hit a wall. It remains, in the words of one active market =
participant, =E2=80=9Ctoo late to sell.=E2=80=9D But it may not be too earl=
y to buy considering some of the prices for quality works.=20
Whether the mix of property is more to blame than overall demand is a quest=
ion that will have to be answered in the day sales in May and again in Sept=
ember.
The works that were in demand=E2=80=94by Alma Thomas, Jean Dubuffet and Jea=
n-Michel Basquiat=E2=80=94had distinctive back stories. The Basquiat was bo=
ught from Larry Gagosian in 1982, the year that the artist moved to Los Ang=
eles and produced work for Gagosian=E2=80=99s gallery. This particular draw=
ing was made before Basquiat relocated but the sale took place a week befor=
e Gagosian=E2=80=99s West Coast gallery opened an important show of works m=
ade during the period Basquiat was living in California. Alma Thomas=E2=80=
=99s striking pink abstract work only had to be seen to understand the leve=
l of demand. And Jean Dubuffet=E2=80=99s Chronique was once owned by the te=
levision producer and noted collector Mark Goodson.=20
The Cy Twombly work on paper was bought at a good price for a work from thi=
s highly-prized series. There was good bidding on Chara Shreyer=E2=80=99s S=
am Gilliam bevel-edge painting; it was one of five Gilliam=E2=80=99s sold d=
uring the sales cycle. The hammer ratio for all five paintings together was=
 a strong 1.22 but Butterfly, Feeling was both the most expensive work and =
the one with the highest hammer ratio, suggesting buyers are waiting for th=
e right Gilliam to bid on. The only Gilliam with a higher hammer ratio amon=
g the five was a very strong late work on paper that sold for $138,600. A J=
onas Wood pot painting, a seven-foot editioned wood =E2=80=9CCompanion=E2=
=80=9D  sculpture by KAWS and a George Condo painting once owned by the Mug=
rabi family depicting Elliot Spitzer (made infamous in an FBI report as cli=
ent number 9 of an escort service) were all sold at compromise prices that =
still landed them in the top ten lots by price.
The top ten lots with the most dynamic bidding were a very different story.=
 Coincidentally, Miyoko Ito=E2=80=99s Surrealism-inflected work from 1975 m=
ade the list of most bid upon works in these same sales a year before. Last=
 year, Untitled (#118) was estimated at $40,000 and sold for three times th=
e estimate or $157,500 with fees. This year, Confrontation from 1970 was al=
so estimated at $40,000. This time is sold for ten times the estimate to ma=
ke $508,000 with fees. Perhaps more surprising is the Julian Opie, Four Bar=
s that was estimated for a minimal $5000 but sold for nearly $50,000 with f=
ees. Both Elaine de Kooning works sold well above their estimates. One was =
estimated at $15,000 and the other at $25,000. The latter work, made when s=
he and her husband Bill were at Black Mountain College in 1948, sold for mo=
re than six times the estimate to make $207,900. Along with de Kooning, Dus=
ti Bong=C3=A9 was a female Abstract Expressionist active during the middle =
of the 20th Century. Her small work on paper made six times the modest esti=
mate of $6000. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Emily Xie=E2=80=99s NFT=
 showed there is still life in this now-ridiculed market as one of her Memo=
ries of Qilin works sold for more than five times the minimal $5000 estimat=
e. Works by Richard Mayhew, Susan Rotherenberg, Pope.L, Richard Hunt and Fr=
ancesco Clemente all received attention from bidders. Richard Hunt and Pope=
=2EL died recently. Hunt is having a sh=
ow at White Cube currently. Richard Ma=
yhew has shown work at Venus Over Manhattan recently as well. Of the major =
artists of the 1980s, Francesco Clemente is the only one whose market remai=
ns disorganized and undervalued. A work estimated at $5000 selling for near=
ly $30,000 won=E2=80=99t change that =E2=80=A6 yet. But it does indicate co=
ntinuing curiosity in the artist=E2=80=99s work.=C2=A0=C2=A0
The market share numbers for these mid-season sales don=E2=80=99t reveal mu=
ch about the state of the market overall. Alma Thomas appears on the list b=
ased upon a single painting. Many of the other artists appeared on the list=
 because of the results of a single work with a few other lesser works fill=
ing out the market share. A dozen Andy Warhol works estimated at $1.5 milli=
on were sold for only a little more than $1.08 million. Four of the Warhols=
 were withdrawn and a fifth was bought in. Richard Prince had 2% of the tot=
al dollars spent even though only six of the ten works offered found buyers=
=E2=80=94in addition, three of those six works were sold below the estimate=
=2E Alexander Calder had all six works=20=
sell for prices that resulted in a 1.6=
4 hammer ratio. But all but one were paintings or works on paper which are =
the type of Calders that appear in these sales.=C2=A0
The bidding quintiles are similar to what we saw in London. The two top qui=
ntiles were soft with hammer ratios well below past auctions. The middle qu=
intile saw the strongest bidding for lots estimated between $20,000 and $40=
,000. The average premium price was $52,861. According to Clare McAndrew=E2=
=80=99s report on the state of the art market for 2023, the $50,000 and bel=
ow market sector is where the market saw growth last year. That momentum se=
ems to be continuing last week. The middle low quintile was weaker than tha=
t. But the bottom quintile of works priced at $10,000 or below was where th=
e strongest bidding seemed to take place. The overall hammer ratio for that=
 quintile was the strongest at 1.28 with works averaging a selling price of=
 $11,950.=C2=A0

th Asian Modern art has been on a tear for the better part of a year. The c=
ategory seems to be riding high on the booming Indian economy and the suppo=
rt of some of India's richest families like the Ambanis. (Yes, the ones wit=
h the big pre-wedding party where Rihanna performed earlier this month.) So=
theby&#8217;s held two sales yesterday in the category. The first was a sin=
gle-owner collection from Virginia and Ravi Akhoury&#8212;a retired investm=
ent executive who trained at SUNY Stonybrook when famed investor James Simo=
ns taught there&#8212;estimated at $1.2 million that sold for more than twi=

ion in estimated value but sold for almost twice that to make $16.3 million=
 with fees.&#160; According to LiveArt&#8217;s data, 72% of the lots offere=
d were sold for more than the estimates, a clear sign of market that is adv=
ancing rapidly. Sotheby&#8217;s toured these objects to India and the effor=

rawn lots. The assumption that lots are only withdrawn to protect an auctio=
n house&#8217;s sale statistics&#8212;which seems to predominate among some=
 commentators&#8212;is impossible to verify. Last Summer, the London sales =
saw a large number of lots withdrawn due to a legal dispute. The commentary=
 treated the withdrawn lots as a harbinger of a down market but the London =
sales were stable within the context of the entire year. In these sales, 19=
 lots were withdrawn with a $3.995 million estimated value or 8.5% of the t=
otal pre-sale estimated value. Thirteen of the 19 lots&#8212;and 75% of the=
 value&#8212;were at Sotheby&#8217;s which did have the highest hammer rati=
o and sell-through rate among the three houses. (Feel free to drawn your ow=
n conclusions from that.) Without the withdrawn lots, the overall hammer ra=
tio for these sales would have dropped from the weak 0.87 posted to an even=
 weaker 0.80.</p><p style=3D"color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-=

tile of works priced at $10,000 or below was where the strongest bidding se=
