A drip painting by Jackson Pollock sold for $181.2 million with fees, and a bronze head by Constantin Brancusi from the S.I. Newhouse collection fetched $107.6 million at Christie’s, both joining the $100 million club at auction.
These record-breaking sales underscore the enduring strength of the high-end art market, demonstrating that top-tier modern and contemporary works continue to command extraordinary prices even amid broader economic uncertainty. The results also highlight the premium placed on provenance, as the Brancusi piece came from a renowned collector's estate.
