I'm in the habit of looking in on the mega auctions in NY & London in spring and autumn. Just to dream and see what's in, what's out etc. Last night the big lot was by Leonora Carrington.  Very colourful, and it sold for $18m+, way over its high estimate. A couple of Picassos were BI'd (failed to sell within the reserve) and some other impressionists bumped along the bottom of the lower estimate.  A Monet Haystack achieved the best of the Imps.   Of the modern ones, an item from Rothko didn't do brilliantly but a brightly coloured Leger did well. Is it to do with the pared down minimalist decor of the homes of today's well off people?
