Alex Branczik, European Head of Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s, said: “Tonight was business as usual for Sotheby’s with strong results for great art from great collections. We also saw records for Wols, Toyin Ojih Odutola and Pascale Marthine Tayou, and of course, Albert Oehlen who really had his moment this evening. There’s undoubtedly a real momentum behind the artist, who will star in a major new exhibition at the Serpentine in a few months’ time.”
