The Paris Sales
June 2023 | Paris

F eaturing examples by the greatest masters of the second half of the 20th century, such as Yves Klein, Zao Wou-Ki, Pierre Soulages, Simon Hantaï, Chu Teh-Chun and Sam Francis, The Paris Sales offer a rare opportunity to acquire historical works from prestigious international private collections.

As part of the Art Contemporain Evening on 5 June, Op Art, The collection of a visionary brings together an ensemble of large scale works by the greatest artists of the optical art movement - Victor Vasarely, Piero Dorazio and François Morellet - never seen at auction before.

Also on the 5 June, Sotheby’s will unveil the beautiful Michel Lequesne collection, who gathered the best examples of post-war abstraction and tribal art. His collection illustrates the perfect dialogue between post-war painting and African and Oceanic aesthetic.
