Worn by Michael Jordan as he accepted the Gold Medal for his victory and leadership as part of the now iconic 1992 ‘Dream Team,’ Jordan was vehemently against wearing this Reebok jacket due to his loyalty to his longtime business partner, Nike. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CZv_Zs2au-A?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/expert-voices-modern-contemporary-day-auction-highlights 2024-04-08T14:51:06-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/5c/fb/94e3c4fe40e3ab7e8bca49a2cb62/l23007-highlights-video-still.jpg Expert Voices: Modern & Contemporary Day Auction Highlights Bringing together over a century of paintings, drawings and sculpture, the Modern & Contemporary Day Auction brilliantly showcases the multifaceted spirit of creativity from the late 19th century through to the present day.

Depicting Penny Cuthbertson naked and resting in the artist’s Paddington studio, Freud captures the delicate poise of her turned head and the sinuous curves of her body through a virtuoso of looping, arching brushstrokes to deliver a painting full of impulse and exacting, spectacular detail. In the present work Cuthbertson appears relaxed and serene, her head tilted to one side, slightly away from the painter, her eyes shut, dreaming. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NOmFDY_d9mU?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/sothebys-spotlight-the-phyllis-and-jerome-lyle-rappaport-collection 2024-04-08T14:49:10-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3d8NEnXB1HY/hqdefault.jpg Sotheby's Spotlight: The Phyllis and Jerome Lyle Rappaport Collection Sotheby’s is honoured to present a selection of outstanding works from The Collection of Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport as a highlight of the Summer Marquee Auction Season in London.

Seated II Morning Crescent and J.Y.M. Seated II are two seminal paintings by Frank Auerbach that represent the artist’s celebrated investigation into the genres of portraiture and the cityscape.

Whether you’re standing in front of Queen Elizabeth I’s Armada Portrait or gazing at fashion royalty on the cover of Tatler, these images have been constructed to make an impact. How do portraits capture the zeitgeist? What do they tell us about an individual? And which portraits have really stood the test of time? This talk will explore the various forces that come together to produce an iconic portrait, and examine how these images both reflect and shape the societies that made them.

As Maggiordomo to His Holiness from 1645 to 1653, Cristoforo Segni was a high-ranking member of the clergy appointed by the Pope to oversee the apostolic palaces. This perceptive portrayal of a man well known to Velázquez is testament to the artist's ability to capture character and to his technical virtuosity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/vAAHbyLzS20?start=76&feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/tim-marlows-must-see-museum-shows-july-2023 2024-04-08T14:40:55-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HwEMKD29I_A/hqdefault.jpg Tim Marlow's Must-See Museum Shows: July 2023 Looking for some inspiration for your next museum visit?
