Modern Day Auction 20 May 2026 • 11:00 AM EDT • New York

S otheby's Modern Day Auction draws together over a century of paintings, drawings and sculpture from across Europe and the Americas to showcase the best of Impressionism and the revolutionary avant-garde movements of the 20th century. Interweaving these movements, counter-movements and transnational cross-currents, the Modern Day Auction encapsulates innovation. Often defying categorization by continent or medium, these artists have dared to challenge tradition to shape the history of modern art.

A Night in May: The Collection of Adele & Enrico Donati

This May, Sotheby’s will offer works from the collection of Adele and Enrico Donati, two leading figures in New York’s creative circles. A highly important presence within the Surrealist milieu, Enrico Donati, often referred to as "the last Surrealist,” was at once an artist and trusted confidant to many of the movement’s leading figures, counting Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst and André Breton among his close friends. Alongside him was his wife Adele Donati, a designer and artist, who viewed the collection with a discerning eye, informed by her work across advertising and fashion.
