    Further to the newsflash sent earlier today, Sotheby’s London Sale of Old Master, Modern & Contemporary Prints achieved an above-estimate total of £6,070,713 ($9,722,247). The result represents the third highest total for a sale in this category held by Sotheby’s Europe. Ten prints by Paul Gauguin from the Collection of Stanley J. Seeger, sold for £1.54 million ($2.47 million), almost four times the pre-sale low estimate for the group. A new auction record for a print by Paul Gauguin was achieved when Crouching Tahitian Woman Seen From The Back sold for £577,250 ($924,466), over three times the estimate (£180,000-220,000). The traced monotype, or ‘printed drawing’, was fiercely contested by a number of determined bidders, finally selling to a private collector on the telephone after a five-minute battle. Earlier in the sale, there was much excitement surrounding a pair of rare woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer – widely considered the greatest artist of the Northern Renaissance. The earliest printed star charts, A Map of the Northern Sky and A Map of the Southern Sky, sold for £361,250 ($578,542) to Daniel Crouch Rare Books, over three times the low estimate. The price achieved established a new record for a woodcut by Dürer at auction.

    Discussing the sale, Severine Nackers, Head of Prints, Sotheby’s Europe, said: “Today’s result of 
    £6  million  represents  the  third  highest  total  for  a  sale  in  this  category  held  by  Sotheby’s  Europe.  Ten 
    prints by Paul Gauguin from the Collection of Stanley J. Seeger sold for £1.54 million ($2.47 million),
    almost  four  times  the  pre‐sale  low  estimate  for  the  group.  A  new  auction  record  for  a  print  by  Paul 
    Gauguin  was  achieved  when  Crouching  Tahitian  Woman  Seen  From  The  Back  sold  for  £577,250 
    ($924,466),  over  three  times  the  estimate  (£180,000‐220,000).  The  traced  monotype,  or  ‘printed 
    drawing’, was fiercely contested by a number of determined bidders, finally selling to a private collector
    on the telephone after a five‐minute battle. Earlier in the sale, there was much excitement surrounding a
    pair  of  rare  woodcuts  by  Albrecht  Dürer  – widely  considered  the  greatest  artist  of  the  Northern 
    Renaissance. The earliest printed star charts, A Map of the Northern Sky and A Map of the Southern 
    Sky, sold for £361,250 ($578,542) to Daniel Crouch Rare Books, over three times the low estimate. The
    price achieved established a new record for a woodcut by Dürer at auction. The Picasso linocut, Portrait 
    de Jacqueline, brought three times the pre‐sale low estimate, the figure of £241,250 a fitting testament to
    the  atmospheric  beauty  of  the  image  and  its  rarity.  Warhol’s  iconic  The  Scream  (After  Munch)  also 
    performed extremely well.”
