Deep bidding kicked off the NOW Evening Auction at #SothebysNewYork tonight, and Salman Toor’s ‘Four Friends’ was no exception. The work saw 8 bidders battle it out for this enticing, glamorous, and yet somehow intensely quotidian work from 2019—one of Toor’s most celebrated and powerful paintings. Ultimately selling for $1.56 million—5X the estimate—the sale set a new auction record for the artist. Stay tuned for more updates from The Now and Contemporary Evening Auctions, presented in partnership with @samsungus, as our New York Sale Week continues. #SothebysNOW #SothebysContemporary
