Few could remember when an Impressionist and modern art sale had made so little—£25.6 million ($37.5 million). Last year the equivalent total was £71.5 million ($105 million). At the press conference we were told about selective bidding, and that bidders from more countries than last year (34) registered—but where were they? We were also told that the real masterpieces were coming up in their Defining British Art sale next week. Christie's always looked unlikely to measure up to Sotheby's previous evening's sale with a very modest £38.6-56.6 million ($57-83 million) pre- sale estimate for just 36 lots of Impressionist and modern art, which was reduced to £32.9-48.8 million ($48-72 million) for 33 lots. Like Sotheby's, they boasted an Amedeo Modigliani portrait among the top lots, but with a lower, £5-7 million ($7-10 million) estimate. This head and shoulders portrait with the characteristically exaggerated swan neck was of Madame Hanka Zborowska, the wife of Modigliani's dealer, Leopold Zborowska. Adding value was the fact that it had not been on the market since the 1930s when it was bought from Arthur Tooth's gallery by one James Archdale from Birmingham, UK. Probably because of insurance costs, his descendants lent the painting to the local museum for the last 38 years. Given the relatively low estimate, at least four phone bidders made a play for it, including two from Asia, before selling for £8.3 million to an anonymous buyer. The only guaranteed lot in the sale was a quiet, sun-drenched early street scene by Claude Monet. With no Monets, or any Impressionist paintings of note at Sotheby's, this was probably the stand-out Impressionist painting of the week. But, estimated at £4.5 million-6.5 million ($6.6-9.6 million), it was the biggest disappointment of the sale, attracting no bids. As occasionally happens, there was a strong suit of Picasso's, but they failed to materialize. A three-foot musketeer painting from 1967 million carried the highest estimate at £2.8-4.8 million ($4.1-7.1 million), but it failed to sell, while a pair of very similar table top still lifes painted on the same day in 1946, one dark, the other light, from the same collection, were both withdrawn at the last minute, carrying estimates of £2-3 million ($3-4.4 million).
