Six bidders battled for Andy Warhol’s portrait of Hollywood star Brigitte Bardot in the Sotheby’s saleroom. The painting set a new auction record for Warhol’s series of the actress, achieving $24.8 million in tonight’s Now & Contemporary Evening Auction, presented in partnership with @celineofficial. The striking portrait is one of eight Warhol created of the actress, commissioned by her husband Gunter Sachs. Here, Bardot’s radiant emerald face captivates you with a profound hypnotic intensity. It’s an ode to beauty and celebrity, and it masterfully captures the essence of a 1960s icon. The New York Sales continue tomorrow with The Contemporary Day Auction.

A 300-year-old scroll by Giuseppe Castiglione broke auction records earlier this week at #SothebysHongKong when it achieved HK$179.9 million at the Asian Works of Art sale. Watch as Sotheby’s Cristine Li brings down the final hammer. ‘Gathering of Two Auspicious Signs' is the earliest surviving work that Castiglione made at the Chinese court. Originally painted for the Yongzheng Emperor to legitimize his power and the mandate of heaven, it’s now the most valuable work by Castiglione sold at auction.
