- A trove of artwork amassed by real estate tycoon Harry Macklowe and his ex-wife Linda during their nearly six-decade marriage brought in a combined $922.2 million at Sotheby’s over the last six months, setting a record for the most expensive art collection to ever sell at auction.
Rothko’s “Untitled” painting from 1960-which had never before been displayed in public before the sale-fetched $48 million and was the most expensive piece of artwork auctioned Monday.
Another star of the sale was one of Warhol’s final works: A self-portrait that was completed just months before the artist’s death in 1987 that sold for $18.7 million.
Combined, the two sales surpassed the $832 million record set by the late banker David Rockefeller and his wife Peggy in 2018 when their collection was auctioned off for charity, Sotheby’s said.

Some fantastic pieces in that auction! The Willem De Kooning and the Warhol (self portrait) are both spectacular.
The art market has gone insane
Lee Krasner certainly helped transform the market after her partner Pollock passed away and she took over his estate.
Ilove a Rothko.
I would be just as happy as having knockoff paintings of each one of those in my house this way if anything happened I wouldn't be in tears
This is an interesting story because their entire net worth basically consisted of their art collection. So they spent nearly ALL their money on art.
this just shows how off the forbes estimation can be
This shows rich have become richer in pandemic and to avoid taxes art is great way 😃😃
How do they avoid taxes? This is capital gains and for them, it will be taxed at 20%....
Yeah but you gotta respect that there able to play the market really well, I mean yeah the rich are getting richer but the middle class arnt doing anything to earn money just work at a job and nothing else. And the cycle oddly repeats itself to other people as well
I guess after 60 years of marriage! they couldn't agree on which wall to hang their art anymore?! 🤣😂🤣
lmao
I have orange color painting
I’d love to know what his return was on those paintings, like did he make 200 M on top?
As an artist myself who has always been good at making replicas. I have started my own collection of replicas of paintings i love for own private collection. I make them where you couldn't tell a real from a copy. Took me a very long time to master this craft. Freud, Basquiat, Guston, Neo Rauch, Egon Schiele, Tamayo, Rockwell, Condo, Bacon, Currin, Frazetta, ect.
Would you ever sell one for a private collection?
@@JonB516 What artist were you interested in?
@@jeanmichelbasquiat4444 I enjoy the styles of Freud, Rauch, Rockwell, Condo, Bacon, and Currin. Though I am quite a novice In more modern art in general (enjoy a good landscape painting from the 1800’s 😂) so would def be open to some pointers or styles that you enjoy most as I wouldn’t want to ask for something impossible. Please feel free to PM me to speak about this further as I assume doing this in comments is a bit scandalous lol.
I find it hard to believe.
Love love love
Amazing!
Macklowe was often reported to be a billionaire but in 2019 Forbes estimated the couple had a fortune of 900m to 1.1b before the divorce... THIS is why you study journalism
No more billionaire club for them then :-(
Very interesting and worthwhile video.
How do these people get so danmmmm Rich where over here tryna fill out applications everywhere and nobody calls back 😅🤣🤣🤣
Cool
Gallerist : All are bargain PRICES , by year 3,000 A.D. it will be APPRAISED USD $ 1-5 BILLION each ?
2:24 Harry's face shows his disgust of losing half of his fortune to divorce
I am still trying to find the art work just but i am just slapped by billions . It is well
Rothsko's 46 million for a blank painting is a joke.
That's why we have prenups !
All that money wouldn't of left her to party time🤣🤣
Moral of the story: Don’t get married ?
Morale of the story, get a prenup !
60 years? Why get a divorce at that point?
They didn't want to deal with old people.
