Fondation Cartier

An auctioneer stands at the Christie’s podium, raising her arm mid-bid in a packed auction room. Two large screens flank her: the left displays the current bid for the lot in multiple currencies, and the right shows Christopher Wool’s 1990 artwork Untitled (RIOT) with the bold blue letters “R I O T” stacked vertically. The Christie’s logo and the numbers “20/21” appear behind the podium, while silhouettes of seated attendees fill the foreground.

The auction was led by Christopher Wool’s 'Untitled (RIOT)' at $19,840,000 and sustained by competitive bidding for Olga de Amaral, Firelei Báez, Amy Sherald and Diego Giacometti.

“The architecture responds directly to a program that has always been international and cross-disciplinary—but that now promises to expand even further into what I’d call a kind of planetary culture,” director of curatorial affairs Béatrice Grenier told Observer.
