Tamara de Lempicka’s cosmopolitan portraits are imbued with the opulence and liberated boldness of the années folles: the golden age that overtook Europe in the 1920s and 30s. Rendered in sleek lines, vibrant metallic hues and geometric forms, her artworks came to epitomize the aesthetic of the Machine Age. Lempicka navigated a turbulent and peripatetic life that, despite its obstacles, afforded her remarkable freedom; she embraced her many lovers, her art, and her international pursuits with equal fervor. This exhibition offers a window into Lempicka's world, seamlessly intertwining her arresting portraits with the design, jewelry, photography, and machinery of the period on which she left an indelible mark, and in turn, strongly influenced her oeuvre. This exhibition – coinciding with the Broadway debut of Lempicka: The Musical and in anticipation of the first major US retrospective of her work to open at the de Young Museum in San Francisco this October – represents a significant moment in acknowledging one of the most influential female artists of the early 20th century. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ewFzrfamPGs?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/muhammad-alis-grandson-nico-ali-walsh-reacts-to-thrilla-in-manila-boxing-trunks 2024-04-07T17:36:34-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/c2/24/9dbee1db452db21d6813fdedcdf6/thrilla-thumbnail.png Muhammad Ali’s Grandson Nico Ali Walsh Reacts to Thrilla in Manila Boxing Trunks The “Thrilla in Manila,” as Ali himself coined it, on 1 October 1975, is still regarded as the greatest and most brutal boxing match of all time 50 years on. A better bout, even, than Ali’s first matchup with Joe Frazier four years prior, which was billed as “The Fight of the Century” in New York City and saw Frazier’s hand raised after he dropped Ali at the start of the 15th and final round. Better too than their controversial Madison Square Garden rematch in January 1974, which ended with Ali the victor. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fm3c40jAEj8?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 The Luxury Week Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/art-moderne-contemporain-evening-and-day-auction-first-look 2024-04-09T12:05:59-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/35/6f/60bdf5e244bd957a0983f198a867/contemporain-web.jpg Art Moderne & Contemporain Evening and Day Auctions | First Look The Art Moderne & Contemporain Evening and Day Auctions in April will celebrate the first sale since our modern and contemporary art departments have joined forces in Paris.

At once melding the squeegee scrape of Gerhard Richter's post-photographic abstraction with the corporeal deformity of a Francis Bacon portrait, The Uncle extends Ghenie’s career-long interrogation of the twentieth century’s most deplorable characters, many of whom were the focus of the artist’s lauded exhibition at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015. As figure and environment implode into one another, this nightmarish vignette of European dictatorship and its atrocities uncovers palimpsestic allusions to an artistic and historical past in Ghenie’s decisive synthesis of personal and collective memory. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kmvvF3gmviQ?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/zh-hant/%E8%A6%96%E9%A0%BB/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9C%8B%E8%97%9D%E8%A1%93%E7%8F%8D%E5%93%81%E6%88%90%E7%B8%BE%E9%A9%95%E4%BA%BA-%E4%BA%9E%E6%B4%B2%E8%B6%85%E5%AF%AB%E5%AF%A6%E4%B8%BB%E7%BE%A9%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%89%B5%E6%8B%8D%E8%B3%A3%E7%B4%80%E9%8C%84-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E6%8B%8D%E8%B3%A3%E5%9B%9E%E9%A1%A7 2024-07-11T03:35:54-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/80/30/c44ea6eb43feb72a94192603629d/screenshot-2024-04-30-at-11.32.11%E2%80%AFAM.png 中國藝術珍品成績驕人，亞洲超寫實主義作品創拍賣紀錄｜香港拍賣回顧 蘇富比帶大家窺探今季香港拍賣幕後花絮。2024年4月5日晚拍盛會人頭攢動，NOW當代藝術晚拍及現當代藝術晚拍輪流舉槌，當代藝壇先鋒大放異彩，現代名家鉅構為市場寫下新基準。 https://www.youtube.com/embed/iyGM38AROSI?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 訪談 香港拍賣 拍賣結果 Video – 精彩一刻 新聞及影片 https://www.sothebys.com/zh-hans/%E8%A7%86%E9%A2%91/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E8%89%BA%E6%9C%AF%E7%8F%8D%E5%93%81%E6%88%90%E7%BB%A9%E9%AA%84%E4%BA%BA-%E4%BA%9A%E6%B4%B2%E8%B6%85%E5%86%99%E5%AE%9E%E4%B8%BB%E4%B9%89%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%88%9B%E6%8B%8D%E5%8D%96%E7%BA%AA%E5%BD%95-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E6%8B%8D%E5%8D%96%E5%9B%9E%E9%A1%BE 2024-07-11T03:36:08-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/fd/03/b59906d3405cbcca500ed1f27d38/screenshot-2024-04-30-at-11.32.11%E2%80%AFAM.png 中国艺术珍品成绩骄人，亚洲超写实主义作品创拍卖纪录｜香港拍卖回顾 苏富比带大家窥探今季香港拍卖幕后花絮。2024年4月5日晚拍盛会人头攒动，NOW当代艺术晚拍及现当代艺术晚拍轮流举槌，当代艺坛先锋大放异彩，现代名家钜构为市场写下新基准。 https://www.youtube.com/embed/iyGM38AROSI?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 訪談 香港拍賣 拍賣結果 Video – 精彩一刻 新聞及影片 https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/a-first-look-at-magnificent-jewels-in-geneva-the-luxury-sales 2024-06-24T06:07:54-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/31/4e/2790cc8c46a796ff76c93607af0f/magjwlteaser-web.jpg A First Look at Magnificent Jewels in Geneva | The Luxury Sales Geneva will be fizzing with excitement this May when a soon-to-be-announced historic jewel makes its appearance at Sotheby’s.
