Auction Results -- Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening Sale, London, October 17

Just a few lots below, from the 69 that went up at Sotheby's on Friday, most of which fell slightly short of the estimate or sold within the lower part of the range. I'm very curious to see how the NY sales fare next month, in light of these results and our largely growing economic crisis:

Lucian Freud, Strawberries

Sold: 229,250






Gerhard Richter, Abstraktes Bild (R07)
Estimate: 3,000,000 - 4,000,000 GBP
Sold: 2,841,250

Sold: 109,250







Damien Hirst, Beautiful Jaggy Snake Charity Painting
