Effective May 20th, 2024, Sotheby's has lowered its Buyer's Premium rates and removed Overhead Premium for all categories excluding Wine & Spirits. Sotheby's Overhead Premium will only be charged for Wine & Spirits lots. Please refer to the Conditions of Business located on the relevant sale page for the updated rates.

The Modern British & Irish Art Auction will bring together the highest-quality works in a tightly-curated offering and showcase London's influence over the careers of key 20th century Modern British artists, from which, many works are emerging from long held private collections or are appearing at auction for the first time. This sale includes leading names such as L.S. Lowry, Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore and Victor Pasmore amongst many others.

At the same time, Sotheby's will be celebrating the Bicentenary anniversary of the National Gallery in London through a special loan exhibition, London: An Artistic Crossroads, where we will bring together 12 masterpieces from 12 distinguished UK institutions in an unprecedented hang across Sotheby's London.
