本年度美國紐約秋拍,先由佳士得印象派及現代藝術晚拍打頭陣,惟反應未如理想。全場總成交額(佣金計算在內)US$2.79億(HK$21.7億;NT$84億),未及US$3.05億總估價(不計佣金在內)。包括領銜作梵高《有繁花與蝴蝶的花園一角》在內,共有九幅作品流拍,不少焦點拍品也低於估價落槌。是買家出價太謹慎?還是行方估價太進取?
梵高《有繁花與蝴蝶的花園一角》
拍賣官以US$2,800萬下槌
莫內《睡蓮池》
佳士得香港印象派及現代藝術部資深總監何杏淇
以莫內2米 x 1米鉅作《睡蓮池》為例,估價US$3,000 - 5,000萬。拍賣官於US$2,000萬起拍,經九口叫價後,以US$2,800萬下槌,未達估價。買家為印象派及現代藝術部資深總監何杏淇的電話客戶,連佣成交價US$3,180萬(HK$2.4億;NT$9.6億),屬全場最高價。
莫內《吉維尼花園的女孩》
佳士得亞洲區總裁魏蔚
莫內繪畫夏季吉維尼(Giverny)花園的《吉維尼花園的女孩》,則以US$1,400萬下槌,同樣低於估價(US$1,500萬 - 2,500萬)。此畫由亞洲區總裁魏蔚(Rebecca Wei)的客戶投得,連佣成交價US$1,600萬(HK$1.2億;NT$4.8億)。
莫內畫作已屬全場反應最佳,成交五強當中佔了三席,行方新聞稿亦以此為題。但實際上,場內六幅莫內畫作,三幅低於估價下槌,一幅流拍。幸有《吉維尼雪景》一畫帶動場內氣氛。

電話競投氣氛熱烈
畫作最終由Max Carter(舉手者)替客戶投得
此畫以US$380萬起拍,競投氣氛熱烈,六名買家投過電話委託出價,價錢推高至US$1,000萬才稍為減慢。此刻剩下佳士得紐約印象派及現代藝術部門主管Max Carter和佳士得倫敦資深國際總監Jay Vincze的客戶繼續競價。畫作最終由Max Carter投得,槌價US$1,350萬,接近估價3倍,連佣成交價為US$1,550萬。
另一位大師畢加索的成績未算突出。兩幅同樣以情婦瑪麗-德雷莎・華特(Marie-Therese Walter)為主題的畫作,估價皆過千萬美元。繪於1931年的《燈》以US$2,600萬僅過估價下槌,連佣成交價US$2,950萬,全場第二高。而繪於1937年的《戴橘色貝雷帽及穿毛領的女人(瑪麗‧特雷斯)》則流拍收場。

在拍賣現場的畢加索孫兒奧利維爾(Olivier Widmaier Picasso)認為,祖父畫作的成交價「合理」,指行方估價「強硬」,而買家們明瞭這點。他形容,人們十分謹慎,雖然願意花錢,但絕非故亂出價亂花錢那種。拍賣反應未如理想,自然惹人思考,是否因包括中國買家在內的亞洲買家銀根短缺,勒緊褲頭所致。
同樣在場的紐約私人藝術經紀David Norman認為,今季亞洲買家不如以往季度般,瘋搶高價拍品。行方透露,全場共有12件拍品由包括中國在內的亞洲買家投得。價錢最高的兩幅莫內畫作,皆由佳士得香港高層的客戶投得,背後很大機會是亞洲藏家。
