For visionary collector, patron and museum trustee David Teiger, art took precedence over all else. Over the course of his life, Mr. Teiger sought to advance the progress of Contemporary Art by supporting museums, curators and artists engaged in redefining the world of Contemporary Art. By virtue of this support and his strong personal relationships with both artists and curators, Mr. Teiger built one of the most admired and daring collections of Contemporary Art, with masterpieces by Peter Doig, Mark Grotjahn and Jenny Saville. Sotheby’s is honored to present The History of Now: The Collection of David Teiger, sold to benefit the Teiger Foundation for the support of Contemporary Art. (New York | 14-15 November)
