History was made during the first ever auction at the Breuer Building. The November sale of Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece ‘Bildnis Elisabeth Lederer (Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer)’ from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection was your favorite Sotheby’s moment of the year—and for good reason. Watch the full bidding war for the most valuable work of modern art – and the second most valuable work of art period – ever sold in the finale of #SothebysWrapped🎁. More than 25,000 visitors attended the preview exhibitions, but in the end it came down to just two bidders battling it out, with auctioneer Oliver Barker dropping the hammer for a record-breaking total of $236.4 million.
