Sale total including buyer’s premium: USD 11,479,750

In auctions, the buyer's premium is a percentage additional charge on the hammer price (winning bid at auction) of the lot that must be paid by the winner. It is charged by the auctioneer as a remuneration, normally in addition to the seller's commission, which had always been charged by auction houses to sellers.
