Zabludowicz Collection Sells 100 Works at Christie's Amid Art World Tensions
Anita and Poju Zabludowicz are set to auction 100 pieces from their collection at Christie's in London. Titled 'Beyond Ordinary – Then. Now. Next. Works from the Zabludowicz Collection,' the event features a live auction of 56 lots on June 25, with estimates ranging from £12.7 million to £19.4 million, alongside a 44-lot online sale concluding on June 30, estimated at £292,000 to £435,400. Notable artists in the collection include Philip Guston, Damien Hirst, and Richard Prince. The Zabludowiczes ended their London exhibition space in September 2024, distancing themselves from the Gaza conflict. Their collection, which began in 1994, expanded to 8,000 works by 600 artists, with Guston's 'Mirror Head' (1977) being the highlight, estimated at £3.5 million to £5.5 million.
