May–July 2024 • London

The Summer Season



T his summer, Sotheby's will bring together three series of sales in London, showcasing the very best of Modern British, Modern and Contemporary Art and Old Masters. The auctions will present a diverse selection of works spanning from antiquity to the 19th century, through to the birth of Modernism in the early 20th century and the evolution of Abstract Expressionism and Contemporary abstraction and figuration. Across our Modern & Contemporary Marquee sales, we are delighted to present works from the esteemed Ralph I. Goldenberg collection; a courageous, curious, and passionate collection that weaves a rich tapestry of 20th Century art. Alongside, we are staging a month-long exhibition, London: An Artistic Crossroads, in partnership with Art UK and twelve museums across the country, shining a spotlight on the UK as a centre of creative cross-pollination. Explore the works, collections, and stories of the season and join us for our in-person exhibitions.

I n celebration of London’s role in the artistic journeys of so many, London: An Artistic Crossroads, Sotheby’s and Art UK brings together a dozen masterpieces from regional museums by international artists connected to and influenced by the city, highlighting the treasures held across the country while unveiling new narratives. Inspired by the National Gallery’s Bicentenary celebrations in which they have loaned 12 works to remarkable masterpieces from its own collection to institutions throughout the country, this exhibition does the reverse: collecting 12 extraordinary works of art from major regional collections, bringing them together, in one room, in the capital city, as an homage to London and to all those who have come from elsewhere to be inspired, create and flourish.
