Leon had me run the numbers with a $5 million guarantee to Jeffrey, and then a split of the hammer price above $5 million as follows: 80% Jeffrey/20% Christie's for the hammer price from $5-6 million, 70/30 for the hammer price from $6-7 million and 60/40 for the hammer price above $7 million. In this scenario, Jeffrey shares a portion of the hammer price above $5 million with Christie's in exchange for them guaranteeing him $5 million. The last two columns on the right (past the highlighted column) show Christie's proposal with the estimates at $5-7 million (so you can easily compare the two scenarios). The guarantee is basically an insurance policy to protect against the work not selling.
