Russians bid big in London

http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/33363752-3564-11e0-aa6c-00144feabdc0.html

Russian money flowed back into the main impressionist and modern art sales at Sotheby’s and Christie’s in London this week. While neither firm would unveil the nationalities of their buyers, the star lot of the week, Picasso’s sensual 1932 portrait of his lover Marie-Thérèse Walter, “La Lecture”, which sold for £25.2m at Sotheby’s on Tuesday evening, was bought on the telephone by UK chairman Mark Poltimore. As he has extensive contacts with Russia and deals with Russian clients, it seems reasonable to conclude his buyer hails from the former Soviet Union.

Then on Wednesday night at Christie’s, the Zurich-based Sandra Nedvetskaia, who looks after the firm’s Russian clients, bid patiently for a glacially slow client on the telephone. However, her buyer eventually bagged the top lot, Bonnard’s 1923 “Terrasse à Vernon”, paying £7.2m for the colourful view of the artist’s Normandy garden – almost twice the estimate and setting a new auction record for Bonnard. She then went after, but failed to win, the semi-abstract “Les Arbres en Fleurs” (1912) by Natalia Goncharova, which sold on its upper estimate for £3.9m to the firm’s Paris-based specialist Thomas Seydoux, whose client was rumoured to be Ukrainian. However, Nedvetskaia did bag a frothy and decorative Van Dongen portrait of the French actress Lili Damita from c1926, paying just over £3m (estimate before commission £1.5m-£2m) and Magritte’s pensive nude “L’aimant” (1941) at £4.7m (within estimate).
Both sales had their failures: two Giacometti sculptures, and Christie’s top lot, an awkward Gauguin “Nature Morte” (1901), which died without any visible bids at £5.8m (estimate £7m-£10m). But the results – £68.8m, with 76 per cent of the lots sold at Sotheby’s, and £84.8m, with 79 per cent sold at Christie’s – indicated a confident market and will certainly encourage buyers in the contemporary art sessions coming this week.
