Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening and Day sales follow directly on the heels of those at Christie's this season. There is only one photographic lot in the Evening sale (a Baldessari); the rest of the contemporary photographs can be found in the Day sale. Quite a few of the images up for sale come from the collection of Martin Margulies (here). There are a total of 55 photography lots on offer across the two sales, with a Total High Estimate of $4139000. (Catalog covers at right, via Sotheby's.)Here's the breakdown:
Total Low Lots (high estimate up to and including $10000): 0
Total Low Estimate (sum of high estimates of Low lots): NA
Total Mid Lots (high estimate between $10000 and $50000): 32
Total Mid Estimate: $859000
Total High Lots (high estimate above $50000): 23
Total High Estimate: $3280000
The top lot by High estimate is lot 40, John Baldessari, Life's Balance, 1986, at $300000-400000.
