Yves Klein, con su obra «F 88, 1961», también se quedó en manos privadas europeas por 3,738,570 euros (£3,289,250 / $5,155,899).
Lucio Fontana protagonizó varias ventas importantes de las cuales cuatro de ellas se encuentran en la lista de los diez mejores remates de la sesión.

Ligeramente inferior con un remate de 3,102,073 euros (£2,729,250 / $4,278,099) se remató otra obra de Lucio Fontana, “Concetto Spaziale, Ritratto di Carlo Cardazzo, 1956”.
