RESULTS

Sotheby's the sale Contemporary Curated Featuring Works From The Collection Of Joni Gordon Of Newspace Gallery brought a total of $28,267,065, soaring over the pre-sale estimate of $15.8/22.7 million with 80% of lots sold. There was significant participation from Asia and Latin America as well as from the US and over 10% of bids were made online. The sale was led by the most important group of works by Vija Celmins to ever appear at auction, these included the seminal painting Burning Plane from 1965 which doubled the high estimate of $1.2 million to sell for $3,413,000. Other memorable results from the Joni Gordon collection included the early John Baldessari work 18th and Highland, National City which sold for $509,000 (est. $180/250,000) as well as a series of pieces by John McLaughlin. Elsewhere in the sale Philip Guston’s Magician's Table fetched $653,000 (est. $250/350,000) and an Untitled Keith Haring from 1988 sold for $2,741,000 – one of the highest prices achieved for the artist at auction.
