The past two weeks of auctions collectively suggest a resilient art market with strong performances in both established and emerging artist categories. It would be fair to say that holding an international art auction during a global geopolitical crisis would be a challenge, but despite this, there were some great results.

Notable sales include Tracey Emin's This Is Another Place neon, Francis Bacon's Portrait of Man with Glasses III and ​​René Magritte’s La Reconnaissance Infinite.

Additionally, a rare Banksy painting titled "Crude Oil (Vettriano)," owned by Blink-182's Mark Hoppus, is set to be auctioned at Sotheby's in London. The artwork has an estimated price of up to $6.35 million.
