This document provides detailed information about a Picasso painting sold through Christie's London on February 2, 2010, for $12,927,874 (hammer price $11,484,000), approximately six months after the artist's death. It also compares 2009 auction revenue declines at Christie's (46%) and Sotheby's (53%), and documents negotiations where an estate rejected Sotheby's $3 million offer and agreed to sell through Christie's for a minimum of $4.8 million plus 60 percent of amounts above that threshold.
