Art as commodity - Fall 2006 NYC Contemporary Art Auctions: The New York City auction house Christie's Fall auction of Contemporary Art included works by Andy Warhol (Mao and Sixteen Jackies) and Willem De Kooning's abstract 'Untitled XXV' which at $27.1 million brought the highest price ever offered for a postwar painting at auction. The international art market is experiencing a staggering growth period: the combined sales of Christie's and Sotheby's in New York of contemporary, impressionist and modern art totaled around $1.3 billion, surpassing records set during the early 1990ies before the the art market crashed.
