Summary: If there is distress in the art market, it was not on view at Sotheby's on Wednesday as the auction house sold more than $180 million worth of Impressionist and modern art at a sale exceeding even the most optimistic expectations.AaA night after a smaller sale at rival Christie's fell short, Sotheby's saw 85 percent of the 66 works on offer finding buyers and took in $181,760,000 including commission, 10 percent above the pre-sale estimate.
