2022 was a good year for the art market. Although it did not set a record-sales were somewhat lower than in 2021-it did show great resilience, with multi-million dollar sales.
Andy Warhol's Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, which fetched US$195 million at auction by Christie's in May 2022.
It is the 20th century work that has fetched the highest price so far. Huerta con cipreses was sold for US$117 million, Maternidad II for US$106 million and La madera de abedul for US$105 million.
