Original Limited Edition Christie’s Auction Catalog * Impressionist Modern Art * held on Feb 9th 2011 in London on King Street at the famed Christie's Auction Gallery. Christie’s kicked off a fortnight of major London art sales with a bang Tuesday. At its impressionist and modern evening sale, the world’s largest auctioneer sold works worth 97.8 million pounds sterling ($155 million), which was toward the top end of estimates. British sculptor Henry Moore was the night’s top lot. His “Reclining Figure: Festival” soared to 19.1 million pounds compared with pre-sale estimates of 3.5-5.5 million. Christie’s said it was an auction record for the artist. In the surreal section, Christie’s also smashed the auction record for Spanish painter Joan Miro when “Painting-Poem” went for 16.8 million pounds, double its estimate.
