Leading our prestigious Evening Auction this Spring, Sotheby’s Hong Kong is honoured to present a distinguished selection of works by Modern and Contemporary Masters. Leading this spectacular collection is the monumental masterwork by Yoshitomo Nara, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight. A favourite of the artist which was exhibited at the Nara's two most significant retrospectives, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight has become synonymous with Yoshitomo Nara’s mature painterly practice. Joining this work is the captivating Le Peintre by Pablo Picasso. Brimming with painterly verve, Le Peintre is both an exuberant homage to the craft Picasso devoted his life to and a reflective exploration of his identity as an artist. Recently included in the prestigious Fondation Beyeler exhibition, this work portrays one of the great motifs that dominated Picasso’s late œuvre - that of the artist at work.
