Overview

OVERVIEW

The day sale features an impressive selection of works by today’s most sought-after artists, including Cy Twombly and Jean-Michel Basquiat, amongst others. A special section of the sale includes several works sold to benefit the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The proceeds from their sale will be paramount to the funding of the completion of the museum’s new downtown home. From the outset, the Whitney has had extraordinary relationships with artists, and for this auction, an amazing group of artists have rallied – from Ed Ruscha and Rudolf Stingel to Mark Bradford – to champion the museum that played a key role in their careers.
