Top auction houses generate £145.5 million from cross-collecting sales.
Both Sotheby’s and Christie’s ended their summer seasons with two Cross-Collecting sales, generating a total of £145.5 million against the pre-sale estimates of £122.1 million to £176.2 million. The two auction houses took a different approach both in terms of execution and content. Whilst Sotheby’s continues to build on its successful global hybrid auction format from June, Christie’s returned to a more traditional offline auction format for this sale.
