In a historic auction at Christie’s New York, over $1.1 billion in art was sold in a single night, with record sales across several high-profile pieces. A Jackson Pollock painting set a new auction record, fetching an astonishing $181 million after just seven minutes of intense bidding, making it the fourth most expensive painting ever sold at auction. Additionally, a sculpture by Constantin Brâncuși sold for $108 million, marking it as the second most expensive sculpture. The successful evening was bolstered by the presence of Nicole Kidman, underscoring a significant rebound in the ultra-high-end art market.
