“The star of tonight’s sale was a painting of the great American landscape by one of the great British painters. It couldn’t be more fitting that in the biggest week for London on the art calendar we saw such a fantastic result for Hockney, attracting bidders from America, Europe, Asia and beyond. Frieze Week always brings a unique energy to London, evident as much in our saleroom tonight as across the city’s fairs, galleries and museums.” – Alex Branczik, Head of #contemporaryart at Sotheby’s Europe.
