Price Check! Here’s What Sold—and for How Much—in Art Basel’s Online Viewing Rooms

After a few stumbles during Art Basel’s first foray into an
online-only fair model with its Hong Kong edition, things are
looking up as the marquee Swiss fair heads into the final week of
its sophomore Online Viewing Room, which it’s hosting in lieu of
its flagship Basel edition.

As usual, dealers who are pleased with results tend to be the
most vocal, reporting swift sales to VIP clients in the
early hours, and a steady trickle continuing as the days wore on.
The fair, which continues through June 26, is now open to the
public in exchange for email registration.

Mega-galleries brought works—or, uploaded images of works,
rather—with price tags that reached well above six figures (and some cracked the next echelon of price
points). Gladstone Gallery nabbed a buyer for its Keith Haring
painting with an asking price of $4.75 million, and David Zwirner
sold Jeff Koons’s cherry-red balloon sculpture for $8 million, an
online sales record for the gallery.

Below, we’ve assembled a list of sales reported from the fair,
all converted to USD.

As always, keep in mind that some dealers occasionally offer
inflated figures, while others prefer to report ranges or “asking
prices”. We did not include sales unaccompanied by a price or price
range in our list, so the galleries that tend to disclose figures
are disproportionately represented here.
