...Rauschenberg reached or exceeded their low estimates, and most were well below them. A Rothko work estimated at $1.8 million to $2.2 million was unsold at $1.25 million. Nothing by Andy Warhol sold that night. Younger artists whose star had risen in the '80s did no better. An Eric Fischl, Northern Girl, estimated at $450,000 to $600,000, went begging...

The prices of "name" artists, from Willem de Kooning to Eric Fischl and Jean-Michel Basquiat, were humiliatingly trounced, although a few -- Cy Twombly, Richard Diebenkorn -- saw new levels set for their work...
