Though the global art market softened last year, strong sales in London and Paris have sparked optimism for 2024. Monet 's 'Meules a Giverny,' which the French impressionist painted in 1893, went for $34.
Meanwhile, British-Mexican artist Leonora Carrington broke her own auction record when her 'Les Distractions de Dagobert' sold for $28.5 million.The new record places Carrington among the top five most valuable female artists at auction, Sotheby's said, and among the top four surrealist artists, 'overtaking Max Ernst and Salvador Dali.'Christie's, meanwhile, sold some $115 million in contemporary art on Tuesday, including a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting for $32 million.
