Tim Schmelcher, Head of Prints department London and Murray Macaulay, Head of Print Sales London:
This was a great and lively sale, highlighted by Edvard Munch, Young Woman on the Beach, an extremely rare colour aquatintfrom the
historic collection of Curt Glaser, which established a new world record price at auction for a print by the artist, with an outstanding result of
2,133,875. This result confirms an entirely new level of value for the most important and sought-after prints, joining the ranks of the four
most expensive printed works at auction -all sold at Christies within the last two years. We are also thrilled that Edvard Munchs Young
Woman on the Beach will be included in a major exhibition of the artists printed oeuvre, opening at the Kunsthaus Zurich inOctober this
year. Furthermore, the sale saw strong demand throughout with many private collectors from around the world competing fiercely for works by
Matisse, Mir, Chagall, Picasso and Morandi, amongst others. Prints by the Masters of Pop, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein,
continued to perform well. We look forward to our sales of Prints and Multiples in South Kensington on 10 April and in New York on 30
April and 1 May 2013.PRESS CONTACT: Amber Hailes | +44 (0) 207 389 2391 |[email protected]
