In 2013, FAAM’s Art Basel sales reached over $4 million in sales, and featured artists
including Impressionist and Modern masters Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir,
Andy Warhol and Keith Haring; as well as some record-breaking sale prices for world renowned artists Vik
Muniz and Carlos Cruz-Diez.
During the December 2012 Art Basel sale, amidst major art fairs and exhibitions, FAAM sold a historical
portrait of Oskar Gruzenbeg and his wife Roza, painted by Russian artist Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov
which was unallocated for 90 years. The portrait sold for a staggering $4,673,500. This price came as a
wonderful surprise when compared to its estimate at $150,000 to $200,000 after an incredible battle
between Russian billionaires. The 68 lots in this auction totaled $20,288,660.
