Christie’s

Christie’s appears in A hawk who flew on political winds: Lindsey Graham as the London auction house where an unknown 17th-century painting of two yellow skulls sold for far above estimate. The episode uses that sale as the opening proof point for Old Masters Market Revival.

The source’s use of Christie’s is market-signal oriented. A single auction result does not prove a whole category revival, but it gives the segment a concrete price event that connects scarcity, attribution, visual appeal, and renewed buyer interest in older art.
