This autumn, Sotheby’s is pleased to present Radical Modernity: From Bloomsbury to Charleston, a private selling and loan exhibition in collaboration with Charleston. The exhibition will celebrate the indefatigable spirit of the Bloomsbury Group and the renewed interest in their work and lives today, across paintings, drawings, furniture, ceramics and literature by Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry, Virginia Woolf and Henry Lamb. https://www.youtube.com/embed/im-NyG9NwLk?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Museums Collaborations Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/the-vision-of-aso-o-tavitian 2025-07-29T15:40:06-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/94/e6/4354611a41259b69f56cd6ab2bd4/tavitian-thumbnail.png The Vision of Aso O.

Produced exclusively between 1748 and 1795 in the Palace Workshops, these sabres were categorized into three series: tian ('Heaven'), di ('Earth'), and ren ('Men'); the production process was thoroughly documented, highlighting the Emperor's active involvement in every aspect, from design to the selection of the finest materials and the poetic names that adorn each sabre. Among the group, this sabre stands out as the most significant imperial weapon of the high Qing dynasty, being the very first one ever made in the tian, di, ren series — the genesis sabre. While most of its counterparts are preserved in the Palace Museum in Beijing, this particular sabre was presumed lost to time, existing only in historical records. Its remarkable reappearance marks it as an unparalleled treasure, symbolizing a significant piece of history that embodies the pinnacle of artistry and the enduring legacy of the royal arms of the Qing dynasty. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SHUMbDRhT04?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/claude-monets-nympheas-the-sydell-miller-collection 2024-11-06T16:12:12-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/70/ad/2b3eee424c9eb6f15d564fe429ff/screenshot-2024-11-05-at-1.43.51%E2%80%AFPM.png The Mystical Power of Monet's Nymphéas There are few themes in the history of modern art as celebrated as Claude Monet’s Nymphéas. The very mention of the Impressionist movement invariably conjures images of the lushly rendered water lilies that Monet began painting in the late 1890s and refined until the last years of his life. Executed in a kaleidoscopic palette of jewel-toned purples and luscious blues, energized by the touches of white, pink and yellow used to describe the namesake flowers, the present Nymphéas is an exceptional example of Monet’s deft ability to translate fleeting atmosphere and the protean effects of light into paint. Nymphéas stands as the forerunner of a specific series of water lilies typified by more elaborate backgrounds featuring the nuanced reflections of trees along the opposite bank of the pond. It is precisely on account of the way Monet uses the pond as a technical device to blur the boundary between the real and the reflected that the work takes on its distinctly modern inflection. In its close cropping and all-over painterly effect, the work likewise marks a radical, early foray into abstraction, one which would prove a decisive stylistic inroad for the Abstract Expressionists who, following in Monet’s footsteps, would come to transform the idiom of modern art thirty years later. https://www.youtube.com/embed/e7ALxDi1g68?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/origins-diriyah-sothebys-unveils-fine-art-luxury-in-saudi-arabias-cultural-heart 2025-01-22T06:08:04-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/03/a5/aab7f8044e9e99c8283dac0c62b1/diriyah-web.jpg Origins: Diriyah – Sotheby's Unveils Fine Art & Luxury in Saudi Arabia's Cultural Heart Taking place in the historic premises of Diriyah, the home of the At-Turaif UNESCO World Heritage Site, this inaugural auction will feature a variety of artworks by both Saudi Arabian artists and leading names in international Art history, as well showcasing all that luxury encompasses, including Jewellery, Watches, Cars, Handbags and Sport Memorabilia.

During the final decade of his life, Davis had mastered a distinct, signature style, yielding his most significant masterpieces. Part Cubist, part Pop, part Abstract, his 1960s works were characterized by monumental scale, increased economy of form and keyed-up colors. Executed in 1963, just a year before the artist’s death, Contranuities is a towering masterpiece measuring 68 inches in height, embodying its author’s enduring legacy as a quintessential figure of American modernism. Contranuities has remained in the same prominent collection for nearly fifty years, eluding the public eye and staying relatively unknown for a work of its caliber. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4JUFs8ZX3ss?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/wrathful-deities-masterworks-from-the-bodhimanda-foundation-2 2024-11-17T23:13:54-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/6a/e9/9957fc334465a55f0d2ac8fe4cdc/thumbnail.jpg Wrathful Deities: Masterworks from the Bodhimanda Foundation This November, Sotheby’s Chinese Art auction in Hong Kong is honoured to present two monumental early Ming Imperial bronze masterpieces from the Bodhimanda Foundation, being sold to raise funds to secure a permanent museum display for its Buddhist art collection. The Bodhimanda Collection encompasses the full breadth of the Tibetan ritual tradition. These two magnificent bronzes, the largest and most important Chinese works of art in the collection, encapsulate the extent to which the greatest emperors of the early Ming dynasty fell under the spell of Vajrayana Buddhism. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6zxKhJBLPgk?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/%E9%87%91%E5%A7%BF%E5%A8%81%E5%AE%B9-%E8%8F%A9%E6%8F%90%E6%9B%BC%E6%8B%8F%E7%BE%85%E5%9F%BA%E9%87%91%E6%9C%83%E8%97%8F%E7%8F%8D-1 2024-11-17T23:14:49-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/6a/e9/9957fc334465a55f0d2ac8fe4cdc/thumbnail.jpg 金姿威容 - 菩提曼拏羅基金會藏珍 今秋11月，香港蘇富比「中國藝術珍藏」拍賣將呈現來自菩提曼拏羅基金會藏珍的兩件體量巨大的明代早期銅鎏金佛像，收益將用來支持基金會將其藏品於博物館長期展出，以實現傳播和宣傳佛教文化的願景。菩提曼拏羅基金會藏品涵蓋藏傳佛教傳統儀式當中所有重要禮器，其中這兩尊銅鎏金像是收藏中尺寸最宏大、最重要的中國藝術品，展示明代初期幾代皇帝崇奉藏傳佛教之虔誠。 https://www.youtube.com/embed/BRApTLPq7To?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 新聞及影片 https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/the-oldest-known-carving-of-the-ten-commandments 2024-11-12T09:52:29-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/11/1e/8df3082f43a289a00347f178b745/10command-thumbnail.png The Oldest-Known Carving of the Ten Commandments This December, Sotheby’s will auction one of the most widely known and influential texts in history: the oldest inscribed stone tablet of the Ten Commandments.

A vast and epic painting of histrionic significance, Georges’ Flag deploys the intellectually loaded image of the national banner so aptly appropriated in the most seminal works by Ruscha’s peers – from Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, to Claes Oldenburg – and now stands as a testament to the artist’s longstanding interest in the American West. In the 1960s, Ruscha first powerfully asserted that language itself was representation – that text could be legible as both word and object – thus pushing the boundaries of the then-nascent Pop movement. In 1985, however, his investigation of words’ dual truth as both text and image turned its attention into the semiotic realm of signs and signals with his first flag paintings. Georges’ Flag marks the last canvas in an early group of six paintings centering the American flag executed between 1985-99, a motif so resonant and resounding that Ruscha would later reengage it in 2017 and feature it prominently in his solo exhibition at the Vienna Secession, Ed Ruscha: Double Americanisms. Georges’ Flag thunders at panoramic scale, an absorptive, arresting vista which commands its viewer’s salutations and meditations on a country’s iconography. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hO7EPde92K0?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/buste-de-femme-by-pablo-picasso-francoise-gilots-legacy 2024-11-12T13:26:40-05:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/usI1zobYW8Y/hqdefault.jpg Buste de femme by Pablo Picasso | Françoise Gilot’s Legacy Executed at the height of Pablo Picasso’s relationship with his partner, fellow artist and mother of his children Françoise Gilot, Buste de femme is an emblematic portrait of one of the most iconic figures in his life.

As the director of the Whitney, Armstrong made extraordinary leaps in strengthening the museum’s identity by way of intrepid acquisitions. In 1977, he purchased Frank Stella’s Die Fahne Noch from 1959, followed three years later by Jasper Johns’ Three Flags. In 1982, he raised more than $1.25 million to add Alexander Calder's Circus, an intricate assemblage of more than 50 miniature figures and animals executed between 1926 and 1931, to the collection. These works now serve as cores of the Whitney’s collection and icons of twentieth century art. He went on to mount seminal mid-career retrospectives for artists such as Jasper Johns, Terry Winters, Mark di Suvero, David Salle, and Eric Fischl, and under his leadership, the Whitney Biennials became regarded as barometers of the nation’s creative pulse. https://www.youtube.com/embed/S7Q-AmUom7c?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/woman-in-tub-by-jeff-koons 2024-11-12T17:00:52-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/cb/d0/47343855460f93ecebbb4c3b0a97/koons.png Woman in Tub by Jeff Koons Their presence suggested only by an ultramarine snorkel, a wanton visitor lurking beneath the bubbles shocks the subject of Woman in Tub from 1988, a masterpiece from Jeff Koons’ Banality series which crystallized the aims and interests of his mature artistic enterprise. Her mouth agape with either surprise or ecstasy, the partially decapitated figure clutches her breasts as she discovers an individual submerged between her legs, enacting a bawdy sexual joke. Among the most iconic images of not only the twenty works that comprise the Banality series but of Koons’ canonical oeuvre as a whole, Woman in Tub has been included in many of the artist’s most important exhibitions, from his 1992 survey at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam to his 2014 retrospective organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Further testament to its extraordinary importance, another edition of the present work is held in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, with other Banality works residing in prestigious international institutions, including the Museum Brandhorst, Munich; The Broad, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others. Interrogating the origins of desire, the politics of spectatorship, and our collective – perhaps arbitrary – hierarchies of taste, Woman in Tub seduces its viewer into indulging their intrigue, implicating us in the very act of voyeurism the work critiques. https://www.youtube.com/embed/s7c0zS_rxLE?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/picassos-masterful-contradiction-la-statuaire 2024-11-12T18:18:00-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/0a/83/cc43678d472683c90c5e54db91bd/picassomiller-thumbnail.png Picasso's Masterful Contradictions | La Statuaire In La Statuaire the artist depicts a seated female figure opposite a portrait bust, which is placed atop a pedestal. Seemingly parallel to each other, the pair is positioned in front of a set of open French doors, beyond which a balcony and an abstracted blue background convey, but do not confirm, the outdoors. The use of the balcony as a compositional device had been thoroughly explored in the previous century by the Impressionists. A visual symbol of Baron Hausmann’s Paris, artists from Édouard Manet to Gustave Caillebotte arranged space and perspective, both to view the city (in the case of Caillebotte) and to view the viewers (in the case of Manet; see figs. 4 and 5). Picasso’s balcony serves neither of these purposes. While it might abstractly imply the outdoors and the possibility of the female figure being seen by others, the primary act of looking here is between figure and sculpture or the artist—Picasso—regarding his own creation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/raubBSAQwaE?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/real-madrid-the-locker-room 2024-11-13T10:33:41-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/4b/fd/1f01f6c84867aa606f99bed47efd/madrid-web.jpg Real Madrid: The Locker Room Sotheby's is proud to present Real Madrid’s first team locker room from the legendary Santiago Bernabéu.

An incisive storyteller, Artemisia Gentileschi is known for her powerful depictions of women from history, and indeed her images of biblical heroines are among her most compelling creations. In this confidently painted work of the 1620s, a Caravaggesque realism is brought to this powerful subject. Barefoot, Mary Magdalen is depicted here in a rugged coastal setting that evokes the wilderness where she lived in solitude. With starkly contrasting areas of light and dark and showing a bold approach to the arrangement of its female subject, the picture makes reference to the saint’s sea voyage to the southern coast of France, where, according to legend, she sought refuge at Sainte-Baume in Provence. The Magdalen as protagonist is an important theme for Artemisia and one that constitutes a recurring thread in her work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/39UpK0znVlI?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/a-presidential-rolex-gamal-abdel-nassers-historic-timepiece-at-sothebys 2024-11-22T17:35:58-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/73/24/d2ec5a6d438a97ef25b1b1a06dc5/nasser-thumbnail.png A ‘Presidential’ Rolex | Gamal Abdel Nasser’s Historic Timepiece at Sotheby’s This yellow gold Rolex 'President,' a 1963 Reference 1803 Day-Date, belonged to the revered Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, a transformative leader whose vision and legacy profoundly shaped 20th-century Egypt and the Arab world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/y6N1SSZut6c?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Luxury Week Partnerships Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/whats-in-a-name-discover-the-centennial-legacy-of-citizen-watches 2024-11-25T10:56:37-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/9a/af/e5f373514c02bf5fccf9f69c7a9d/citizen-thumbnail.png What’s in a Name?
