Lot 9, "Triple Elvis (Ferus Type), left, and Lot 10, Four Marlon," both by Andy Warhol

By Carter B. Horsley

The November 12, 2014 evening auction at Christie's New York of Contemporary Art is highlighted by numerous major works by Andy Warhol and James Rosenquist and good works by Lucien Freud, Franz Kline,
Willem de Kooning, Gerhard Richter, Peter Doig, Jeff Koons and Francis Bacon.

The auction was extremely and historically successful with 94 percent of the 82 lots selling for $852,887,000, the highest total in auction history.  Prices were staggering.  The low pre-sale estimate total was $630,000,000 and the high pre-sale estimate was $836,000,000.

Brett Gorvy, chairman and international head of post-war and contemporary art for Christie's, declared after the auction that "this was a sale of extraordinary quality and range, with every major artist represented by at least one masterwork."

"The landmark sale result achieved tonight," he continued, "is a reflection of both growing global enthusiasm and demand in this category and a virtuous cycle of confidence in the art market that brings a fresh supply of exciting, high-quality works into the market with each new season."  Mr. Gorvy said that there was an "extraordinary depth to the bidding" with 43 countries represented and 500 bidders.

About half of the offered lots were "completely new to the market," according to Christie's, and the sale established 11 new world auction records.  The exhibition, it added, in New York attracted about 8,000 visitors and about 500 bidders from 34 countries registered for the auction.

The stars of the auction were two works by Andy Warhol, "Triple Elvis (Ferus) Type," and "Four Marlons," shown at the top of this article.

The former sold for $81,925,000 and the latter was $69,605,000 and both had been owned by the German Westdeutsche Spielbanken GMBH & CO. KG.

Lot 10, "Four Marlons," a Warhol silkscreen on unprimed linen, measures 81 by 65 inches and was painted in 1966.  It also has an "estimate on request."

Twombley


Lot 20, "Untitled," by Cy Twombly, oil based house paint and wax crayon on canvas, 61 1/4 by 74 3/4 inches, 1970

Lot 20 is an untitled oil based house paint and wax crayon on canvas by Cy Twombly (1928-2011).  It measures 61 1/4 by 74 3/4 inches.  It was painted in 1970.  It has an ambitious estimate, for a repetitive and uninteresting "blackboard" scribble, of $35,000,000 to $55,000,000. It conjures the scrawl of a naughty child ordered to write 100 lines of nonsense after class.  It ain't art, but it sold for $69,605,000, the auction's most astounding price, breaking the artist's previous auction record of $21,669,000 set at Sotheby's New York November 13, 2013.


Grey Richter


Lot 5, "Untitled," by Gerhard Richter, oil on canvas, 44 1/8 by 40 1/4 inches, 1989

Lot 5 is an extremely beautiful untitled smudge oil on canvas by Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) that measures 44 1/8 by 40 1/2 inches.  It was painted in 1989.  Both Christie's and Sotheby's have gone out of their way to introduce reference illustrations in their major catalogues that are not directly related to the lots and often the connection is irrelevant and only meant to enhance the value of the lot in a misleading way.  In this instance, however, the catalogue reproduces a nice black and white photograph of a winter forest scene by Ansel Adams and the comparison is striking.  The entry, like many, is a major essay and it notes that this work "seduces the eye with its fluctuating tonalities, eroded surface and crystalline color formations."  The lot has an estimate of $5,000,000 to $7,000,000.  It sold for $9,125,000, much lower than many of the artist's "color" abstractions that are definitely inferior to this jewel.


Richter squeegee

Lot 37, "Abstraktes Bild (648-3)," by Richter, oil on canvas, 88 3/4 by 78 3/4 inches, 1987

Lot 37 conjures a "water lily" painting by Monet soaked in phosphorus.  It is, indeed, better than Monet's water lilies and deserves to be above a large fireplace across a very large room from another large fireplace beneath a masterpiece by Mark Rothko.  It is a squeegee oil on canvas by Richter entitled "Abstraktes Bild (648-3), Lot 37, and measures 88 3/4 by 78 3/4 inches and was painted in 1987.

The catalogue entry has a stunning verbal description of this lot:

"With virtuosic mastery Gerhard Richter creates a vast seascape of high-keyed chromatic labyrinths that floods the picture plane in wave upon wave of spectral luminescence.  The matrix of multiple pictorial registers at work in Abstraktes Bild (648-3) - spatial ambiguity, optical change, tactile sensation and compositional complexity - delivers a kinetic and sensual force rarely matched in brilliance and beauty.  Liquiescent teal dissolves into viridian green; staccato punctuations of rich cadium yellow and fiery red and magenta riddle the terrain disrupting the softly brushed aqueous turquoise and phthalo blue.  The stunning grandeur of Abstraktes Bild manifests as much in the sudden burst of chromatic under-layer as in the flating droplets of high-keyed chroma searing its vast surface.  As if adrift in an immense coral underworld, vividly hued textures pulsate as they describe a seeming network of living organisms of almost preternatural vividness - a grand expanse of blazing chromaticism and convulsive materiality."

Despite such justified adultation, this work still cannot match the glories of Richter's above-mentioned grey painting.

It has an estimate of $20,000,000 to $30,000,000.  It sold for $31,525,000.

Richter demo

Lot 38, "Demo (848-3)," by Richter, oil on canvas, 24 3/8 inches square, 1997

Richter, of course, is not a one-trick pony and actually can occasionally see a non-abstract world as evidence by Lot 38, "Demo (848-3), a 24 3/8-inch-square oil on canvas from 1997 that relates to the "aftermath of a May Day demonstration by a group of asylum seekers, a physical reminder of the complex politics of Germany's new role as a model of European democracy.  It is based on a 1993 photograph taken by the artist.  It is a fine composition that at first glance suggests an overuse of the blur filter in Photoshop but which is much better. It has an estimate of $7,000,000 to $10,000,000.  It sold for $8,005,000.


Doig house

Lot 36, "Pine House (Rooms for Rent)," by Peter Doig, oil on canvas, 70 by 90 3/4 inches, 1994

Not as dazzling as some of Richter's works, Lot 36, "Pine House (Rooms for Rent)," by Peter Doig (b. 1959) is extremely painterly with a wintry luminosity that is rather mesmerizing.  An oil on canvas, it measures 70 by 90 3/4 inches and was painted in 1994.  It has an estimate of request.  It sold for $18,085,000, an auction record for the artist.


Bacon

Lot 45, "Seated Figure," by Francis Bacon, oil on canvas, 60 1/8 by 47 inches, 1960

Lot 45, "Seated Figure," is an oil on canvas by Francis Bacon (1909-1992) that measures 60 1/8 by 47 inches and was painted in 1960.  It is obviously inspired by portraits of Pope Innocent by Velasquez and the catalogue entry reproduces one at the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome.  It is part of the artist's "Screaming  Popes" series that began in the1950s but it can't begin to compare with the great "Study for Portrait VII" of 1953 at the Museum of Modern Art which is mostly black with gold geometric lines containing a painterly seated pope with his mouth wide open, a very haunting painting.This lot has an estimate of $40,000,000 to $60,000,000.  It sold for $44,965,000.


Freud

Lot 63, "Waste Ground, Paddington," by Lucien Freud, oil on canvas, 28 inches square, 1970

Lot 63, "Waste Ground, Paddington," is a fine and very painterly study of the backyard of Lucien Freud (1922-2011) backyard in the Paddington section of London.  An oil on canvas, it is 28 inches square.  The artist also painted a version with a broader scape of the cityscape.  This work was painted in 1970.  It has an estimate of $6,000,000 to $9,000,000.  It sold for $7,781,000.


Freud

Lot 51, "Julie and Martin," by Lucien Freud, oil on canvas, 48 by 60 inches, 2001

Lot 51, "Julie and Martin," is an excellent and very painterly oil on canvas by Lucien Freud (1922-2011).  It measures 48 by 60 inches and was painted in 2001 and the next year it was featured in a retrospective exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London, the La Foundacion "La Caixa" in Barcelona and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.  It has an estimate of $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.  It sold for $16,965,000.


Kippenburger


Lot 40, "Untitled," by Martin Kippenberger, oil on canvas, 95 1/4 by 79 3/8 inches, 1988

Lot 40 is an very large and very unattractive, untitled oil on canvas by Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) that was included in a retrospective in 2008-9 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.  It measures 95 1/4 by 79 3/8 inches and was painted in 1988.

The catalogue entry reproduces the 1951 David Duncan Douglas photograph of Pablo Picasso in his underwear that this "self-portrait" painting references.

It notes that when he painted it the artist had been invited to Vienna to open a disco: "The artist, raconteur, impressario, poet, DJ, night-club owner and enfant terrible of the Berlin and Cologne art scenes....had agreed, solely on the condition that its organizers put him up at the best hotel in town....The grubby, delapidated and misleadingly-namned Pension Elite was the best that could be arranged."

The entry also notes that the artist's work is ambiguous and sometimes clumsy, a "Post-Modern" fetish, it would seem, and it describes this work as "deliberately ambiguous, anti-heroic, anti-iconic and unmonumental."  This is not comparable to a great and painterly Francis Bacon....

 It has an estimate of $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.  It sold for $22,565,000, an auction record for the artist.


Baselitz

Lot 2, "Der Bruckechor (The Brucke Chorus)," by Georg Baselitz, oil on canvas, 110 by 117 inches, 1983

In marked contrast to the Kippenberger, Lot 2, "Der Bruckechor (The Brucke Chorus), by George Baselitz (b. 1938) is colorful as well as being shocking in an upside-down way.  An oil on canvas, it measures 110 by 117 inches and was painted in 1983.  

The Brucke Chorus refers to a group of Expressionist painters in Dresden and the catalogue entry notes that "we find Karl Schmidt-Rottluff in the center of the painting, Otto Muller to his left, the figure of Emil Nolde to the far right and Edvard Munch's disembodied head flating mysteriously to the right of center.

It has an estimate of $5,000,000 to $7,000,000.  It sold for $7,445,000, an auction record for the artist.


Basquiat

Lot 57, "Untitled (Head)," by Jean-Michel Basquiat, acrylic and oilstick on paper, 30 by 22 inches, 1982

In contrast to the "gimmicks" of the Kippenberger and Baselitz lots, Lot 57 is boldly better in its vibrancy and unambiguousity, a fine demonstration of the virtuosity of Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988).  An acrylic and oilstick on paper, it measures 30 by 22 inches and was painted iunb 1982.  It has an estimate of $3,000,000 to $4,000,000.  It sold for $3,749,000.


Laura Paulson and Brett Gorvy and Ruscha's "Smash"

Lot 30, "Smash," by Ed Ruscha, oil on canvas, 71 3/4 by 67 inches, 1963, hangs behind Laura Paulson and Brett Gorvy of Christie's at post-sale news conference,
photograph by Michele Leight


Lot 30 is a huge oil on canvas by Ed Ruscha (b. 1937) entitled "Smash."  The word is emblazoned across the dark canvas in large yellow letters and is also repeated three times in much smaller fonts at the bottom of the canvas and on its two sides.  The canvas measures 71 3/4 by 67 inches and was painted in 1963.  The painting was once owned by Charles Cowles and later by Mr. and Mrs. Donald Marron.  It has an estimate of $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.  It sold for $30,405,000, an auction record for the artist, and evidence that a single word can make a "splash" or statement without an exclamation point.

Koons dog

Lot 42, "Balloon Monkey (Orange)," by Jeff Koons, mirror-polished stainless steel with transparent color coating, 150 by 235 by 126 inches, 2006-2013

Koons pink

Lot 33, "Pink Panther," by Jeff Koons, porcelain, 41 inches high, 1988, the artist's proof from an edition of three plus an artist's proof

Lot 33 is the "Pink Panther," the amorous and cuddly cartoon character that dominated the titles of the movie of the same name.  It is a 41-inch high porcelain that was made in 1988 and is the artist's proof from an edition of three plus the artist's proof.  One of the others was included in the artist's retrospective in 2014-5 at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.  It has an estimate of $8,000,000 to $12,000,000.  It sold for $15,845,000.
