The Now and Contemporary Evening Auction in November 2026 will feature artworks which capture the paradigmatic artistic shifts of the latter half of the 20th century through to the present.

Beginning with Postwar abstraction and moving through Minimalism and Pop into the critical postmodern inquiries of the 1980s through to today, these radical new modes of art-making fundamentally altered the course of art history. Spotlighting these developments within a unified platform, the masterworks of The Now and Contemporary Evening Auction call into focus the plurality of visions, identities and artistic innovations that have reshaped the trajectory of art history as we know it.

These works and more will be viewable at Sotheby’s New York this November.
