T he auction record for Kandinsky was smashed twice in a night, with one of his paintings going for £21 million - and a second selling minutes later for £33m. Sotheby’s hailed a “momentous” evening at its New Bond Street auction house, with art worth more than £127m in total going under the hammer during the Impressionist and Modern Art Sale. First to break the record for the Russian master was his 1909 work “Murnau – landschaft mit grünem haus” (Murnau - landscape with green house) which fetched £21 million - £ more than the previous highest price. Just six lots later, the record was broken again when “Bild mit weissen Linien” (Painting with white lines) 1913 went for £33m - Robert Der - 22th June 2017
