Works by Basquiat, Haring and Hockney help Christie's 21st century evening sale net a healthy $106.5m
Briefly

Christie's auction on November 21 showcased a robust art market, breaking 11 artist auction records and bringing in $87.47 million in total sales despite rainy weather.
Emerging artists attracted the most competitive bids at the sale, challenging conventional art market views that prefer established blue-chip artists, particularly in softer market conditions.
The evening auction featured significant sales including Firelei Báez’s debut, reaching $450,000, and Denzil Forrester's 'Street Music,' which set a record at $150,000.
Despite two significant withdrawals, Christie's saw a strong turnout, with nearly half the lots guaranteed, demonstrating confidence in the 21st-century art market.
