The apogee of the artist’s psychological exploration of the human condition, the present work is a masterful multi-figured composition, mapping out the artist’s fascinating subconscious. With signature ambiguity and frank honesty, Rego draws up the complexities of male-female relationships: the disquieting interplay between obedience and defiance, fear and desire, agency and passivity. Rego’s flair is in her superb draftsmanship and expert translation of pastel into flesh, which has positioned her at the forefront of contemporary figurative painting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/d8FnKA3arok?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/j-k-rowlings-hand-written-copy-of-beedle-the-bard 2024-06-07T10:49:43-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/4f/aa/3e20f6e24aa7b4dbffd10d4e554a/screenshot-2024-06-07-at-10.34.37%E2%80%AFAM.png J.K.

Comprising 160 lots, the landmark collection was acquired over three decades by Gianni Giordano for his magnificent villa in Piedmont, nestled in the renowned vineyards of the Alba region (where the Giordano family started producing wines in the 1900s). Testament to his passion for collecting, in tandem with this, Giordano has been meticulously assembling a Kunstkammer collection – considered by the select few who have seen it as the most important in private hands. The auctions of the contents of his home will mark the first time he is sharing his private collection with the world, following which the collector will focus his attentions on his Kunstkammer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/P0_rJjT1YKU?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 First Look Interiors + Design Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/female-trailblazers-making-modernism 2024-06-13T12:05:43-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/6e/fb/06faf819490885cc4ac80d44bc5b/womenartists-web.jpg Female Trailblazers: Making Modernism Join us this June at Sotheby's for an extraordinary presentation of works by trailblazing female artists of the 20th century.
