Yesterday's Sotheby's New York Master Paintings Part I sale realised $27,528,000 with a sell-through rate of 59.2% / 50.9% including withdrawn lots.
Several pictures soared past their estimates, including Pieter Brueghel the Younger's Nest Robber which achieved $3m over its $1.2m - $1.8m estimate, Cornelis de Vos' Portrait of a Young Girl which made $2,040,000 over its $600k -$800k estimate, a Tintoretto portrait which achieved $2,160,000 over its $800k - $1.2m estimate, a Workshop of Botticelli tondo which made $660,000 over its $100k - $150k estimate and a Bay Cob by Stubbs which made $540,000 over its $150k - $200k estimate.
The Aso O. Tavitian single-owner sales will begin today (featuring many fine Old Masters), so this total is likely to be higher once those are done.
