The key to its brilliance lies in the 258 illustrations and illumination, all executed between about 1520 and 1540 at a time when the art of Persian painting had reached its absolute zenith. Probably no other Persian work of art, save architecture, has ever involved such enormous expense or taken so much artists’ time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PgrHffTfzGo?start=3&feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/first-look-estrela-de-fura-55-22 2024-04-15T10:37:38-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/ba/42/e2c02af441c991dbbd39a061d2cc/estreladefura-ruby-thumbnail.png First Look: Estrela De Fura 55.22 When FURA Gems announced its historic uncovering of the world’s largest gem-quality ruby ever discovered in September 2022, the news dominated headlines the world over, prompting tremendous excitement and taking the gemstone market by storm. Unearthed from FURA’s ruby mine in Montepeuz, Mozambique in July of 2022, the gemstone – weighing an astonishing 101 carats – was subsequently named Estrela de FURA (Star of FURA in Portuguese), in a nod to its outstanding depth of color and size, and to shine a spotlight on Mozambique as a rich source of premium quality rubies. Even in its rough, untouched state, Estrela de FURA was considered by experts as an exceptional treasure of nature for its fluorescence, outstanding clarity and vivid red hue, known as ‘pigeon’s blood’ - a color traditionally associated only with Burmese rubies. The Estrela De Fura Ruby will be part of Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels sale, 8 June 2023 in New York. https://www.youtube.com/embed/62Nhn5S8Rv8?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/a-life-less-ordinary-amita-suman 2024-04-15T10:37:19-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/noV0POSiUv8/hqdefault.jpg A Life Less Ordinary: Amita Suman Actor Amita Suman, formerly starring in ‘Dr. Who’ and currently a lead character in the number one most watched Netflix series ‘Shadow and Bone’, has taken up a new role this spring.

The difference and variations in the dials are one of these reasons. Among these praised dial variations exists the exotic dials nicknamed 'Paul Newman' after the famous actor. Those are today among the most sought-after dials on the vintage market. Nevertheless, there is one variation that exists in such small numbers that it is somewhat legendary and a centrepiece in any collection it might be a part of.

Lange’s work comes out of a period of American history filled with hardship, struggle, but also perseverance, and these traits are most notably captured in the iconic portrait, Migrant Mother, Nipomo, California. With her Boulevard series, Grannan continues the lineage of portrait photography, using her camera as a vehicle for dynamic expression and social inquiry by focusing on an overlooked cross-section of American society. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ovHJNcYOFiM?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/sothebys-spotlight-the-coronation-sale 2024-04-08T15:20:34-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mACuBzMmcmo/hqdefault.jpg Sotheby's Spotlight: The Coronation Sale Sotheby's is delighted to present The Coronation Sale, a historic cross-category event which will herald the advent of King Charles III with an offering of fine manuscripts, jewellery, artwork and objects relating to the British monarchy, past and present. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mACuBzMmcmo?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/great-collectors-the-jacques-garcia-collection 2024-04-08T15:24:14-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NlDkttBlBcU/hqdefault.jpg Great Collectors: The Jacques Garcia Collection Jacques Garcia is undoubtedly one of the most respected interiors designers in the world. To ensure a lasting future for his castle and his lifetime project, Champ de Bataille, which he has been carefully looking after for more than 30 years, he has decided to sell 75 pieces of furniture and art objects which adorn the rooms of the 17th century estate located in Normandy. Many of the works have royal provenances that call to mind various colourful personalities, from Du Barry to Marie-Antoinette and from the Duchess of Parma to the Rothschilds. They are the work of great cabinetmakers such as Gaudreaus, Oeben and Weisweiler, and they represent the quintessence of French taste. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NlDkttBlBcU?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/sothebys-spotlight-the-collectors-eye-works-from-the-collection-of-frances-wells-magee 2024-04-08T15:24:34-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/3c/dd/36ecc0594a8f95ef5ae960059c69/screen-shot-2023-04-26-at-4.52.51%20PM.png Sotheby’s Spotlight: The Collector’s Eye: Works from the Collection of Frances Wells Magee From Rothko to Frankenthaler, Frances Magee has always had a particularly talented eye when it comes to exquisite modern and contemporary works of art. Apart from Matisse’s phenomenal Femme assise sur un balcon, which was inherited, Magee acquired every other piece herself, with an astounding example from Jasper Johns’ single numerals series as well as a delightfully colorful painting from Sam Francis. Magee bought most of her art in the 60s. These works were specifically bought to furnish her amazing home that was built at the time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NwsmvUYCK9Y?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/sothebys-spotlight-mark-godfrey-on-three-masterworks-by-gerhard-richter 2024-04-08T15:24:55-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/55/e8/6a4318ef44d9be56b462d5ff1471/richtergodfrey-thumbnail.png Sotheby’s Spotlight: Mark Godfrey on Three Masterworks by Gerhard Richter Curator Mark Godfrey highlights three paintings by Gerhard Richter coming to the Contemporary Evening Sale this May, Abstracts Bild, Vesuv [Vesuvius], and 4096 Farben. https://www.youtube.com/embed/gTGU3NBj1t8?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/expert-voices-edward-hoppers-cobbs-barn-south-truro-and-three-water-colors 2024-04-08T15:21:40-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/6e/84/8ede48e44871a3e13a96b723cdc2/hopper-thumbnail.png Expert Voices: Edward Hopper’s Cobbs Barn, South Truro and Three Water Colors Returning each season to live and paint in Truro elevated Hopper’s art, allowing him to concentrate on the simplification of forms and the depth of both light and color woven into the surrounding landscape. Both his technical approach to painting and his perception of the world from 1930 onwards are greatly informed by the Cape. Cobb’s Barns, South Truro derives its bright palette and topographical features from Hopper’s immediate environment, and is emblematic of the profound influence that life in South Truro had on his manner of painting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N6hsgo0R7JY?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/sotheby-presents-classic-design-week-may-2023 2024-04-08T15:23:25-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gNX_wu7BN8o/hqdefault.jpg Sotheby's Presents: Classic Design Week Shifting generational tastes, desire to create highly personal spaces, and concerns about sustainability and the environment are driving demand for antique, vintage and classic design.
