If the £131 million total achieved at Sotheby’s the previous evening suggested that the art market continues to move forward with remarkable composure—seemingly unfazed by wars, political fractures and a global economy unraveling in slow motion—Christie’s set out to reinforce the point yesterday (March 5) with its three-session marquee evening sale.
On 5 March 2026, Christie's 20/21 Evening Sales generated a total of £197,472,600 / $263,823,394 /€226,106,127, a 52% increase on the total achieved last year, and were 96% sold by lot and 98% sold by value, continuing Christie's long-running market leadership for 20th/21st century art in London, with day and online sales to follow.
The exhibition exploring the future will feature works from creators of Andor, Fallout and Westworld
