"This year marked a second consecutive drop in annual sales for Christie's, with total estimates suggesting a net of $5.7bn, a 6% decrease from 2023's figures."
"This was a 'year of two halves', with geopolitical instability impacting sales, yet a strong autumn helped Christie's net $3.6bn in the latter half alone."
"Private sales showed sustained growth amid uncertainty, with $1.5bn amassed privately, marking a 41% year-on-year increase while public auction sales dropped 16%."
"The year saw the most expensive lot sold at auction, a René Magritte painting for $121m; however, it highlighted the difficulty in obtaining trophy consignments this year."
