The tenth edition of Photo London opened in Somerset House on Wednesday on the sun-drenched banks of the River Thames.

The sixth installment of the Final Destination franchise has a generational arc, with Death targeting the descendants of Iris, a woman connected to the original Skyview incident. One by one, members of her family begin dying in gruesome ways, following a clear pattern. But when a key character, who isn’t even related by blood, ends up dead, fans are left asking: if he…
Sotheby’s three-part evening sale on Thursday in New York generated a total of $186.1 million on 68 lots, coming towards the high end of its $141 million to $204.9 million estimate.

That solid, if unspectacular, top result reflected the broader trend across this week’s marquee sales: strong demand for blue-chip works, and more cautious interest in younger and mid-career artists. Across two focused offerings and a broader contemporary sale, buyers bid aggressively for…
