RESULTS
Our 8 November sale achieved a strong total of $15.4 million. More than six bidders battled for the top lot, Spanish master Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida's Buscando mariscos, Playa de Valencia, which soared above its high estimate of $1.5 million, selling for $4.9 million - a record for Sorolla at auction in America. Another exceptional result was John William Godward’s Dolce far Niente which brought $1.6 million, far above the high estimate of $600,000. Additionally, our cover lot, Federico Zandomeneghi's La coiffure set a record for the artist at auction when it sold for $1.8 million.
