Sotheby’s is delighted to present our upcoming mid-season Contemporary Art Auction, offering a fantastic selection of works by leading post-war and Contemporary artists. Featuring an exciting range of works by artists such as Sam Francis, Richard Prince, Eddie Martinez, Cecily Brown and Genieve Figgis, and with estimates starting at only £200, the sale offers something for every collector, at every price level.
This season’s Contemporary Art | London auction offers a fantastic selection of quality works on paper, not only from key emerging talents but also from some of the most sought after established artists. Throughout art history, works on paper have offered a terrific insight into artists’ working processes. Time and time again we have seen the giants of art history produce wonderfully esoteric and insightful works on paper as a key cornerstone of their practice. From Tracey Emins monotype, to Brice Marden’s ink on paper and Paulina Olowska’s collage, each work offers a unique and unrivaled sense of intimacy and showcases the experimental practices that lie at the heart of these artists' oeuvres.
There is a strong presence of works by trailblazing female artists in this season’s Contemporary Art | London Auction. Recent years have seen a much needed reckoning with previously undervalued importance of women artists. From Cecily Brown’s sensual and wonderfully tactile monotype, to Jenny Holzer’s radical and uncompromising text work and Makiko Kudo’s monumental whimsical canvas, these works testify to the diversity in practices of women artists and the enduring importance of their works.
