Christie's Latin sales move to Paris - Artworld - Christie's International PLC, auctions of Latin American art - Brief Article

In a surprising move, Christie's announced in early February that it would cease its New York sales of Latin American art and conduct these auctions at its Paris branch instead. This year, the big-ticket evening sale of Latin American works, which was traditionally held in New York following the week of the contemporary art auctions, will take place at Christie's salesroom on Avenue Matignon on June 10.

Christie's has been grappling with uneven Latin American auction results in New York in recent years. And press statements released by the auction house stressed Paris's strong link with Latin American art.
