- After more than three minutes of bidding, Lucy Bull’s ‘16:10’ sold for a record-breaking $1.8 million during the Now Evening Auction at #SothebysNewYork.
In its auction debut, the work achieved twice its high estimate as auctioneer Phyllis Kao brought down the hammer in the sale room tonight. Watch it all unfold here.
The New York Sales are presented in partnership with Celine.

The auctioneer is great. Very engaging while keeping everything in order. Also those severe bangs with that high pony? Yes kweeen!!!
Search for Phyllis Kao, there is an interview with her on here.
There's another short video about her and her auctioneering career. You should check it out. She mentions her hair. Early in her auctioneers she was told not to touch or play with her hair so she has put it up ever since and made kind of a show of it. She really is awesome though isn't she to watch?
@@MarkT1700 I just watched the interview and this, and wow, i want a whole series about her lol shes incredible
Love Phyllis Kao. I can't afford anything she sells, but she does it so well that I love watching her. Plus, she dresses beautifully.
Don't sell yourself short. You afforded her your attention, and that in itself has its own value.
I got chills watching this 😂 she’s mesmerizing to watch 👏🏾 the hair does what it needs to do 😮💨🤌🏾
I really like this auctioneer she commands the podium and the room. Good auction.
I grew up in the Midwest where the auctioneer style is the rapid fire patter they do, but I much prefer the style you find at higher class auctions like Sothebys, Christies and Bonhams.
hi gretchen
I should start painting
i bid $1 for your first painting!
@@klauslorenzen Thank you !
Some of this is ridiculous.....way outta hand money
It's well worth it because "xyz" owned it .. great value investment.
😂😂😂
I'd love to be rich enough to just sit in that room. 😂
I don't understand how this is worth so much money. I should've stuck with my art. Lol.
I really want the auctioneer’s makeup routine
Why did she say $1,450,000 and the title says 1.8 million?
25% fees on top of sale price.
and also add vat tax to get full sale total 👍
@@paulgilliland2992 Thank you for this answer. It was polite and informative.
It says 1.8M title and caption but the final auction bid is 1.45M? Whats with the difference?
add seller's fee, buyer's fee, commission n vat tax to get total sales 👍...it is how auctioneer earn their living...worth every penny too...dare i say.
@@dongiogarciasantiago2864I was wondering that, thanks
@@dongiogarciasantiago2864 No one is saying that the auctioneer shouldn't be paid, it's just confusing for the title to say $1.8M when the winning bid was $1.45M.
@@doubledutchclutch
...you seem a very confused and getting things twisted person..
There is not a single bidder on the planet that doesn’t know he or she will be paying the buyer’s premium and other associated taxes and fees.
I need the entire auction recorded, so mesmerizing.
Unintended ASMR

..saw that live last night too...Phyllis Kao was very good at entertaining and playing live youtube viewers, bidders and crowds...frenzy bidding no time to breathe/exhale for all.😍🤩🥰🤝👏🤝👏🤝👏
well done Sotheby's
1.45 is not 1.8? I see now the fees. Still not a fan of the title. But youtube is nothing if not intentionally misleading.
Art is an asset
I'm confused, at the end doesn't she say sold for 1.45 million, not 1.8?
add commission n vat tax to get full sale total...👍
Are members of the public allowed to go and watch auctions at Sotheby’s?
She clearly says $1.45m sold. Where does the $1.8m come from?
Auction fee plus VAT tax.
@@jamesrawlins735 got it, thanks.

BREAKING NEWS....christies brought back social commentary online...and realised sotheby's doing better on viewing ratings and PR, Publicity, People Person Skills..🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧..well done sotheby for being ahead of the game...💪👍❤️🇬🇧
Just like that 1.8 million.
can someone please explain to me why and how that painting is worth $1mil+ ? like how is it valued at that to begin with, and what do the rich see in it? like is there an economic scientific reason it's worth $1mil or is the artist just lucky to have their painting grab the attention of bored rich people who spend time at auctions as a hobby?
Art is a great investment for people trying to launder 💰
@@Mattyjohns-mq2mo i think you missed my question by about a mile. laundering only works if they can sell the piece of shit painting back at the same price, which brings up my question again, how does it get to be worth $1mil+ ?
Most of the reason why they bid is because they are bored, extremely rich and want to brag to others when they display it in their homes. They can also avoid taxes by paying for expensive art and a way to protect wealth during inflation.
It’s a good question. I searched up the artist of the painting in the video, and there wasn’t as much as I’d thought there’d be for someone whose painting sold for $1.8mil. She graduated from art school, gained recognition in the art world for her style of work, picked up traction with exhibitions and some permanent pieces in museums, and now, her work is sold for $1.8mil. All that info is actually from the bio Sotheby’s wrote on their site. She doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.
An object is "worth" exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. It's just paint on canvas. But enough people wanted it for whatever reason to compete against each other to acquire it. Why is anything worth what it costs? Nothing can be said to be "overpriced" if someone wants to, is willing to, and can afford to pay that price for it. Free your mind and the rest will follow.
Also, it's not a "piece of shit" as you replied to someone else. It's a nice painting.
How does she know everyone’s names?
part of the team that's working it - knowing all your buyers and their reps, there's not a large group of them that can afford a piece of art like that; likely some of those folks are regulars, too
It's worth more, and they know it!
Yep
Why tho? Seriously. Can someone who understands abstract art plz explain to me the appeal of this particular piece?
shes happy cuz she gets a cut of that 1.8 million
WOW !! I just created a painting called “Who’s loving You” I will let it go for $400,000😳
...can have mine for a bic mac meal....lol
😀👍
Who are the people on the phones?
Truly a stunning work of art. Sotheby's is such a premier auction house and Phyllis Kao.....🫡 ... is one of the finest Auctioneers bringing passion and control to the room, demonstrating joy while in the box. BRAVO 👏🏽
So that drawing I made in 1st grade can go for maybe $1.2 million it seems
Lot of people with a lot of money around. The wealthy just keep getting wealthier, the rest just look on.
stay mad.
Yup,and this is their perfect way to launder money
Most of these people in auctions are actually not wealthy people but representatives of various museums.
