Christie’s May 4 Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale achieved a total of $335,548,000. The auction was highlighted by the runaway success of Pablo Picasso’s Nude, Green Leaves and Bust from the Collection of Mrs. Sidney F. Brody, which sold for a record $106,482,500, breaking the previous world record for any work of art sold at auction. The Evening Sale portion of the Brody Collection also achieved the highest total for a single-owner sale offered at Christies New York, surpassing the landmark sale of the Collection of Victor and Sally Ganz in 1997.
