The art market's surprising recovery continued yesterday (19 November)at Rockefeller Centre, thanks to Christie's 21st century evening sale hauling in $99.5m, or $123.5m with fees. The result eclipsed last November's equivalent sale that realised $106.5m with fees. Last night's tally before fees fell midway between pre-sale expectations of $87m to $127m. Out of the 45 lots offered, just one-a Cecily Brown abstract-failed to sell, making for an almost-perfect buy-in rate of 98%.
