Andy Warhol "steals the show" ideally accompanied Jackie Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe
Although auctions in February taking the pulse of international contemporary art in the new year, beat is strong and the hammer of Tobias Meyer, Sotheby's old beater , runs at a rate of 95% of lots sold. 
The most important pieces are a Abstraktes Bild (7.2 million pounds), literally abstract painting, but actually "image" of the aesthetic that the German artist Gerhard Richter is pursuing by 60 years, a series of Andy Warhol Reversal, Nine Multicoloured Marilyns (3.1 million pounds) and a moving Conversation Piece by Juan Munoz (3 million pounds), which celebrates the genre of sculpture in bronze. Works that are the result of the masterpiece in these same rooms, only ten days ago, in the historic auction Looking Closely: A Private Collection, in this case a small triptych by Francis Bacon, Three Studies for Portrait of Lucian Freud, the seal of friendship of these great artists fought for 23 million pounds and the Portrait of Paul Elouard of Salvador Dali seal stolen love for Gala, sold at the artist's world record of 13.4 million sterline.A represent Italy in October after the record of Marino Marini there are spatial concepts and that is the archetype of artistic research in the third dimension of Lucio Fontana. Two single cuts a white 1964 (2.2 million pounds) and the other gold in 1961 (2.7 million pounds) by Christie's five cuts and a flawless white 1968 that makes 1.2 million at Sotheby's in a typical trend imposed by the crisis of recent years which are fine works of great artists while most do not pass (two other Fontana unsold) those children. Orgy of the rich, called the protest of a handful of agitators who, simulating orgasms, stop the auction at Sotheby's in the eye (very British) of these ironic and detached. The revelation of the last auction in London, the young artist Ged Quinn, still, beyond all expectations, to break all records in the last two seasons, having tripled its value from 60 000 pounds to less than 180 thousand and succeeded in placing under the spotlight with the Londoners Evening Sale works much more important. 
Christie's auction, which now can be followed via the internet, part at 7 pm the next day, quickly rising from the first batch: the controversial and now historical sculptures of the Chapman girls (91,250 pounds), a spin (421,250 pounds) and Dr painting (881,250 pounds) of Damien Hirst, a fleshy painting by Jenny Saville (1.4 million pounds), again with Gerad Richeter Abstraktes by Bild 3.1milioni pounds and Jean Michel Basquiat (1.8 million pounds). 
But here's Andy Warhol, from an auction house to another, again burst on the scene with a large portrait "rediscovered" as seen on the market (part of a private collection since 1974), which completes 10autoritratti series, including five already museum pieces and creates 10,793.250 pounds in the silence of the room. And so, a few days after Valentine's Day, lovers Winter Bears by Jeff Koons (2.9 million pounds) L'année dernière à closes with Capri (Titre exotique) Martial Raysee (4 million pounds) a week of auctions, with the highest total for the category since June 2008: "buyers" from 21 countries and numerous artists' records broken.
