Behind the movement’s most visionary canvases were relationships defined by passion, collaboration, and creative risk. Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, Yves Tanguy and Kay Sage—each pair shared an emotional and artistic intensity that blurred the lines between muse and master, love and art. Their intertwined stories reveal how desire itself became a medium of surrealist expression. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kL4t5Id5IH4?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/leonard-a-lauder-collector-panel-discussion-klimt-and-the-art-of-connoisseurship 2025-11-03T11:26:45-05:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2RSDY1oGR6A/hqdefault.jpg Leonard A.

That is not a metaphor. The cut, the emotional presence within the material, and the way the gem already wants to exist determine the engraving, architecture, and silhouette. This philosophy guided her in creating Taylor Swift’s engagement ring — a piece that became a global symbol of intimacy, proportion, and timeless design. It is the same instinct that shapes every creation she undertakes today. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qseCi2lM0ec?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/how-leger-inspired-pop-art-for-roy-lichtenstein-frank-stella-and-ellsworth-kelly 2025-11-05T16:48:52-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/f2/53/9b4a483743cfb8f40750a26cc89b/legerclean-1.png How Léger Inspired Pop Art for Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and Ellsworth Kelly Fernand Léger believed the future of art lived not in nostalgia, but in invention. L’Anniversaire marks this exact pivot point. Created after the Second World War, this late work merges myth, color, and the human figure into a new visual language that defies traditional realism. Instead of recreating the world as it looks, Léger constructs how the world feels.

Previously an iconic centerpiece of the artist's seminal 2016 exhibition Kerry James Marshall: Mastry, which opened at the Met Breuer, Untitled makes a triumphant return as part of Sotheby's inaugural Breuer exhibition, a defining moment of both auction and art world history. The presentation of this exquisite work at auction coincides with the largest exhibition dedicated to Kerry James Marshall ever staged outside of the United States, Kerry James Marshall: The Histories, demonstrating exceptional and enduring institutional support for the artist’s practice.

Spanning generations and movements, the collection reflects Meyer’s deep engagement with the creative pulse of his time. Beginning with the modernist precision of Diebenkorn’s Albuquerque #20 and continuing with a new generation, the collection reveals Meyer’s unwavering eye for quality and his ability to identify artists whose practice defined and expanded the language of postwar and contemporary art. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0iySGJdt9aw?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Collectors Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/sfs-asia-unlock-full-potential-of-your-collection 2026-02-06T13:37:00-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/a2/4c/d0c3d5024ef8b1ccfeb0267f7835/sothebys-thumbnail-clean.png SFS Asia - Unlock Full Potential of Your Collection Unlock opportunities without selling: Sotheby’s Financial Services (SFS) in Asia offers discreet, fast, asset‑focused loans - up to $250M - against art and luxury collections, so collectors can bid, buy, or grow with confidence.

The present work represents both a pivotal moment in Calder’s career and a masterful distillation of his sculptural language: intimate in scale, yet monumental in spirit. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VBwvGJVXEP0?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/jeff-koons-reflects-on-roy-dorothy-lichtenstein-legacy-at-sothebys 2025-11-14T17:23:03-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/8a/b2/7f80c881408ab15763454e34463a/jeff-koons.png Jeff Koons Reflects on Roy & Dorothy Lichtenstein Legacy at Sotheby’s A Legacy Reimagined: Works from the Collection of Dorothy and Roy Lichtenstein is a celebration of Lichtenstein’s legendary status as a founder of the Pop movement and icon of Contemporary art. This exceptional trove of sculptures, paintings, drawings, collages and prints charts four decades of Lichtenstein’s career, capturing Lichtenstein’s profound engagement with his art historical forebears as well as modern-day visual culture—all through his signature visual vernacular. Over the course of his career, Lichtenstein engaged in a profound dialogue with art history’s giants, revisiting the canon through his own imagination. Ultimately, though, Lichtenstein not only reimagined these art historical giants, but also joined the pantheon of legends, as a singular force in the development of Contemporary art. https://www.youtube.com/embed/SdM4fwnI4z0?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/why-this-toilet-is-worth-more-than-its-weight-in-gold-maurizio-cattelans-america-at-sothebys 2025-11-15T16:42:59-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/d8/73/d25c6ec94d1e95741835c6e1b2d7/thumbnail.png Why This Toilet is Worth More Than its Weight in Gold | Maurizio Cattelan’s America This November, visitors to Sotheby’s new Breuer Building in New York will find a toilet worth its weight in gold—literally. Maurizio Cattelan’s America (2016), a fully functional toilet cast in solid 18-karat gold, will be installed in a bathroom at the Breuer Building, and visitors will be invited to view America one-by-one in an intimate viewing experience. However, the fully functioning sculpture will remain unused for the safety and security of the artwork. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JLkr76f-mx8?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/leonard-a-lauder-collector-new-york-panel 2025-11-17T12:44:07-05:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/u5-M4zZJ1HU/hqdefault.jpg Leonard A.

Every brushstroke pulses with energy, capturing the unruly spirit of one of Haarlem’s most notorious characters. Verdonck was infamous enough to be restrained by city authorities for his aggressive behaviour. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oXWKZTJnKUI?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/how-french-gallerist-denise-rene-revolutionized-modern-art 2025-11-21T11:17:07-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/76/d4/9667f76a458aafdf7913f3d7e696/sothebys-thumbnail-dreneclean.jpg How French Gallerist Denise René Revolutionized Modern Art Step inside the world of Denise René, Parisian gallerist and visionary force behind abstract and kinetic art. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oVNN3djUUrE?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/jon-reardon-unlocks-times-best-kept-secrets-at-sothebys 2025-11-25T21:47:37-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/93/14/b94e1427478d9e7be9f1f5624172/v3-clean.png John Reardon Unlocks Time’s Best-Kept Secrets at Sotheby’s Watch specialist John Reardon joins Sotheby’s for an unexpected encounter with five timepieces absent from literature, archives, and the historical record. Examining a dual-time Patek Philippe wristwatch, a 1933 desk clock, and other works that surfaced after generations in private hands, he reflects on how the unknown tests expertise, how rarity reframes scholarship, and how rediscovery can shift the understanding of an entire collecting field. https://www.youtube.com/embed/hIYqoY6w2IE?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/willy-michiels 2025-12-09T08:20:35-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/75/b3/76832ee142c09ef40df8b7fe0dd0/willymichiels-web.jpg The Magnificent Cellars of Willy Michiels: A Passion for Collecting | Sotheby's Sotheby’s Wine is honoured to unveil one of the most extraordinary private wine collections ever assembled, offered across Paris, Hong Kong and London from December 2025 through December 2026. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kH0yi_leegA?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 First Look Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/franks-files-gabriela-hearst-reveals-her-vision-for-high-jewelry 2025-11-27T15:19:58-05:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LfAXrUerOG0/hqdefault.jpg Frank's Files: Gabriela Hearst Reveals Her Vision for High Jewelry Gabriela Hearst, fashion designer and guest curator for High Jewelry during Sotheby’s Luxury Week, presented by EDITION Hotels this December, joins Frank Everett in Frank’s Files to explore the pieces that surprised her — from her own transformable design, to old-mine stones, to singular creations by Hemmerle, David Webb, JAR, Harry Winston and Paul Flato. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LfAXrUerOG0?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/from-pliny-to-the-periodic-table-the-books-that-built-the-foundations-of-science 2025-11-26T18:50:39-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/13/97/045204964bf5bfa17c543c77cb02/clean-v3.png From Pliny to the Periodic Table: The Books That Built the Foundations of Science The first selection from the Barry Yampol Library traces the evolution of scientific understanding from the dawn of printing to the rise of modern chemistry. As Selby Kiffer walks through the collection, the shift in thought is visible across centuries: encyclopedias that attempted to contain all known knowledge, early editions of Pliny and Aristotle, and the first printed maps that pictured the world before its true boundaries were known. These volumes reveal how thinkers tried to explain what the earth is made of, why volcanoes erupt, and how minerals form, marking the moments when speculation began to take shape as science. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HLPsvKabVII?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/which-famous-figures-are-hidden-in-brueghels-timeless-winter-village-scene 2025-11-26T11:12:18-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/10/9f/f3e1a90f42beb214f04d80b78b53/brueghel-web.jpg Which Famous Figures are Hidden in Brueghel's Timeless Winter Village Scene? Step into a snow-covered village in the early 1600s, where Pieter Brueghel the Younger captures winter life in the Low Countries with warmth, humour, and humanity. Inspired by his father’s famous compositions, this scene is alive with everyday detail—villagers delivering taxes at an inn, traders arriving with carts and wagons, pilgrims wandering the snowy landscape, and children playing, skating, and throwing snowballs across the ice. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ty7ZBLhzhhE?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Old Masters London Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/the-lost-ap-masterpiece-that-changed-watchmaking 2025-12-04T12:02:09-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/a3/fb/563d4c3e43e39b4124eee9b77f85/clean-v3.png The Lost AP Masterpiece That Changed Watchmaking Audemars Piguet created only two ultra-complicated pocket watches in its entire history, and one of them has remained out of sight for decades. Now, at the 150-year mark of the manufacture’s legacy, this monumental piece returns to view with a movement so vast, so intricate, and so ambitious that even AP’s modern watchmakers still approach it with reverence. Featuring the night sky over London mapped with 315 stars, true sidereal time, a grand strike mechanism, and a perpetual calendar, the watch reaches a level of astronomical complexity rarely attempted in the 19th century. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3k27qG-qVm8?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/comedian-jim-gaffigan-tastes-iconic-american-whiskey 2025-11-29T10:00:03-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/c2/18/a828675847079c5df2ffc2d93f7c/jim-web.jpg Comedian Jim Gaffigan Tastes Iconic American Whiskey In this episode of Sotheby’s MasterGlass, Sotheby’s Honorary Whiskey Expert, Comedian Jim Gaffigan, explores and savors some of the finest American whiskey, sharing stories and expertise along the way. https://www.youtube.com/embed/LOg1EmboXIw?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Luxury Week Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/was-francisco-goya-a-sorcerer-the-dark-secrets-of-los-caprichos 2025-11-27T08:29:54-05:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/47/d8/06ef8d5d43f9bed53465bc6ab3e0/goya-web.jpg Was Francisco Goya a Sorcerer? The Dark Secrets of Los Caprichos Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos is a masterclass in fear, folly, and the art of hidden truths. From witches taking flight to sinister figures preying on the vulnerable, Goya used his prints as a dark mirror of Spain’s moral decline. Each image is layered with symbolism, inviting viewers to question what is real and what is superstition. Even centuries later, the eerie power of his work lingers, challenging us to reflect on human behaviour and societal fears. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BGtSAuAiyXM?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert
