The breathtaking $450 million (including buyer’s premium) sale of Salvator Mundi generates headlines across the world, garlanding a superb week of sales in which nine works realise more than $10 million, a further eight surpass $20 million, and three works fetch over $50 million.
An historic season at Christie’s in New York finished on Thursday, with the final total across seven sales hitting $1,421,993,000 / £1,082,817,271. The highlight was the extraordinary 19-minute bidding battle for Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi in Wednesday’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale, culminating in the work being sold for a world-auction record price of $450,312,500 (including buyer’s premium).
The depth and quality of art offered across the week was remarkable, with nine works realising more than $10 million, a further eight being acquired for in excess of $20 million, and three achieving more than $50 million.

Westside Gunn brought me here ..
I guarantee most people don’t know who bought this, you would be surprised.
For the people that don’t know, Salvator Mundi is in Saudi Arabia and the country is constructing an art gallery, which is to be finished in 2024. And was bought by Mohammed Bin Salman Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia
and probably it is not a real Leonardo…
