Gooding tries its luck online. And sets a new record.

Seeing that both RM and Bonhams were not stopped by the lockdown and simply changed their strategy with online sales, Gooding plucked up the courage and at the beginning of July announced that it too would organize a virtual alternative to the Monterey classic. In reality, the Californian auction house was perhaps somewhat shy about brandishing the top lots (although there were no shortage of big-calibre items), perhaps waiting to “make a splash” with some upcoming physical auction. In the meantime, it has announced that it had re-scheduled the London auction due to be held in April to the 5th September. We’ll follow that one very closely indeed.
