Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper & Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale Achieve $56.5 Million - Christie's

Christie's New York held back-to-back Day Sales on November 18, 2025, featuring Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper in the morning and Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale in the afternoon. The two sales achieved a combined total of $56.5 million, with top lots including Edgar Degas's *Danseuses sur la scène* ($1.14 million), Childe Hassam's *The Flower Seller* ($2.15 million), and Robert Delaunay's *Portrait de Jean Metzinger* ($2.03 million). The sales drew from notable collections such as those of Robert F. and Patricia G. Ross Weis, Carol and Terry Wall, and Arnold and Joan Saltzman, with strong bidding across American, Latin American, and European artists.

These results underscore the continued strength and vibrancy of the Impressionist and Modern art market, particularly for works with distinguished provenance and high quality. The sales contributed to Christie's Fall Marquee Week running total of $746.3 million, demonstrating sustained collector appetite and market momentum. The success of works by artists like John Singer Sargent, Remedios Varo, and Joan Miró highlights the broadening appeal across diverse artistic movements and geographies, reinforcing Christie's position as a leading auction house in the global art market.
