A three-part auction hosted both in London and Shanghai totalled $334 million in sales for 20th and 21st century art on Tuesday. The Christie's auction marked the first ever time that London's mid-season evening sale included a section of sales taking place in Asia. The top lot was a closely-watched Franz Marc painting from 1913 that was restituted last year from Düsseldorf's Kunstpalast to the heirs of its former owner, the Nazi-persecuted Jewish businessman and banker Kurt Grawi. .
