Christie’s Rockefeller Collection Auctions Begin Record-Setting Week

Leading last night's sale was a Rose period Picasso, “Fillette à la corbeille fleurie,” selling for $115 million. Other notable works included those from Monet, Matisse, Corot and Delacroix, all of which set records for the artists at auction.

Five more live Rockefeller auctions, in addition to online sales, continue throughout the week. Today English & European Furniture, Ceramics and Decorations Part I from the collection will be offered. Works from Georgia O’Keeffe, Edward Hopper, and Diego Rivera are highlights of their impressive Art of the Americas sale, taking place tonight in New York.
