Others are made to be felt. Gabriela Hearst’s original Nina bag, hand-painted by artist Adam Pendleton exists somewhere between the two: part sculpture, part love letter, part act of preservation. Curated and published by Sharon Coplan (@_sharoncoplan), each of the 25 unique pieces is hand-painted, signed, and entirely one of a kind, realized on ivory duchess satin with Pendleton's unmistakable visual language moving across every surface with quiet intention. The handle alone took months — built toward a fade with no beginning and no end, something Hearst describes, simply, as stardust. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zr3KtNJ8L9A?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/tracing-monet-from-seines-light-to-vetheuils-cliffs 2026-04-10T06:20:42-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/50/73/c656a2c740fb9f5cd1a541a3b187/monet6-clean.jpg In Monet’s Footsteps: Finding the Views Behind Two Long-Lost Color Paintings Join Sotheby’s expert Etienne Hellman on an exclusive pilgrimage to the very landscapes that inspired Claude Monet. We retrace the artist’s path along the Seine, first by boat to the spot where he painted Les Îles de Port-Villez (1883), and then by car to the cliffs of Vétheuil, the setting for Vétheuil, effet du matin (1901), two masterpieces never seen in their original vibrant colors for over 50 years. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UF7_LE6LX44?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/the-who-keith-moon-destroys-his-drum-kit-opera-house-illinois-usa-10th-march-1968 2026-04-09T17:12:51-04:00 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9X-LWzFmZnA/hqdefault.jpg The Who - Keith Moon destroys his drum kit (Opera House, Illinois, USA 10th March 1968) Sotheby’s is pleased to present ‘The Who - Keith Moon destroys his drum kit (Opera House, Illinois, USA 10th March 1968)’.

Born in the late 15th century at the height of the Ottoman Empire, these ceramics began as an homage to Chinese porcelain before evolving into something far more original. What emerged was not simply decoration, but a new visual language—one shaped by imperial taste, technical daring, and an almost painterly approach to clay. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fTc087j2dMs?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/when-basquiat-had-nothing-and-made-everything 2026-04-14T04:58:05-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/34/eb/89e99dbc444094c61d88418f2283/basquiat-ofl-clean.jpg When Basquiat Had Nothing—And Made Everything New York, 1981. The city is fraying at the edges, its storefronts dimmed and its rhythms unsettled. Somewhere within it, a 20-year-old Jean-Michel Basquiat is moving between borrowed rooms and park benches, painting not on canvas but on whatever the street offers. A set of discarded window blinds becomes something else entirely—a surface, a signal, a threshold between visibility and obscurity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9s8YBEE_Qi4?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Expert Voices Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/rothko-lalanne-picasso-royere-whats-inside-sothebys-most-valuable-single-owner-design-sale 2026-04-13T14:50:34-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/60/af/bafe19d34f4c96a7fdc2a6e3c05b/ingu-collection-clean.png Rothko, Lalanne, Picasso, Royere: What’s Inside Sotheby's Most Valuable Single-Owner Design Sale There are collections that document taste, and there are collections that reveal a way of seeing.

The fifteen mirrors she ultimately created for Yves Saint Laurent's Paris music room were not made on commission so much as on a dare — Saint Laurent asked whether an entire room could be enveloped in her work, she told him it would take nearly ten years, and he simply replied: why not. What followed was the most ambitious decorative undertaking of her career, and arguably of twentieth-century French design. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ovfSANZj3fI?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/10k-vs-100k-per-carat-sapphire-can-you-tell-the-difference 2026-04-23T04:21:35-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/87/63/de7220ae440a8d7d9a2b4e727961/sapphire-clean.jpg $10K vs $100K per carat Sapphire: Can You Tell the Difference?

A great Rothko takes over the atmosphere entirely. At first glance, it can seem disarmingly simple: fields of color, softened edges, silence on canvas. Then something shifts. The surface begins to move, the colors start speaking, and what looked minimal becomes deeply emotional. This remarkable work channels everything that makes Mark Rothko one of the most powerful artists of the 20th century. https://www.youtube.com/embed/BzQvgv1e8us?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/a-human-with-a-horse-head-why 2026-04-28T06:41:36-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/eb/34/4062e1064ed99a981c309d1daf04/clean-thumb.jpg Not a Human.

Through a meticulous process of translation—from photograph to drawing to painting—Sheeler moves steadily away from representation and toward abstraction, collapsing time, space, and perspective into a single, controlled vision. https://www.youtube.com/embed/wyxX9IcgDB0?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/venice-through-fontanas-eyes-a-monumental-1961-masterwork 2026-05-08T11:24:00-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/49/1d/1ce90b644a57800b414a626663fa/fontana-clean.png Venice Through Fontana’s Eyes: A Monumental 1961 Masterwork What does Venice feel like? In Concetto spaziale, Il cielo di Venezia, Lucio Fontana offers not a view of the city, but its atmosphere—its shimmering canals, celestial light, golden splendor, and timeless romance. Executed in 1961, this monumental canvas belongs to the artist’s celebrated Venezie series, a rare group of only twenty-two paintings inspired by Venice and considered among the most important works of his career. https://www.youtube.com/embed/W2KYGeEk8Rg?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/videos/how-basquiat-breaks-into-the-mind-in-museum-security 2026-05-08T11:24:16-04:00 https://sothebys-com.brightspotcdn.com/b7/50/8b9357e145be850327f2b54a11a1/basquiat-clean.png How Basquiat Breaks Into the Mind in Museum Security Painted in 1983, Museum Security captures Jean-Michel Basquiat at a moment of extraordinary clarity and control. At just 23, Basquiat constructs a work that feels less like a painting and more like a force—layered with language, rhythm, and urgency. A central figure emerges and dissolves at once, surrounded by fragments of text that oscillate between personal, political, and cultural meaning. This is not a passive image. It demands engagement. It pushes, confronts, and invites the viewer into the intensity of a mind working in real time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/u62OZwU5ATc?feature=oembed&autoplay=1 Stories & Videos https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/stephen-curry-teams-up-with-sothebys-for-exclusive-sneaker-free-agency-auction 2026-04-07T10:41:57-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/the-largest-and-most-important-collection-of-vintage-cartier-watches-ever-assembled-comes-to-auction-at-sothebys 2026-04-08T10:41:03-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/elvis-presley-noel-gallaghers-legendary-guitars-headline-sothebys-new-york-rock-pop-sale 2026-04-08T10:43:40-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-announces-the-collection-of-adele-enrico-donati 2026-04-13T10:32:10-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-and-roman-and-williams-debut-marcel-at-the-breuer-in-new-york 2026-04-16T17:03:20-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/immortal-vintages-200-years-of-bordeaux-shatters-records-at-sothebys-new-york 2026-04-21T14:19:15-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-unveils-a-new-vista-the-david-and-shoshanna-wingate-collection-coming-to-new-york-this-may 2026-04-21T14:20:38-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-and-the-distillers-charity-extend-partnership-through-to-2033 2026-04-22T11:52:20-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/claude-lalannes-mirror-ensemble-shatters-record-achieving-33-5m-at-sothebys 2026-04-22T12:42:55-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-achieves-96m-for-the-collection-of-jean-terry-de-gunzburg-led-by-a-record-breaking-lalanne-mirror-ensemble 2026-04-22T21:19:16-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-unveils-the-saul-and-ellyn-dennison-collection-coming-to-new-york-this-may 2026-04-24T17:35:12-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/records-shatter-at-sothebys-hong-kong-important-watches-auction-soars-to-hk-414-2-million-us-52-9-million 2026-04-27T10:47:13-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-and-yale-school-of-art-present-benefit-auction-in-support-of-art-education 2026-04-27T10:49:58-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/record-performance-at-sothebys-hong-kong-high-jewelry-live-sale-highest-ever-sell-through-rate 2026-04-28T10:56:49-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/the-emmanuel-de-bayser-collection-to-star-in-sothebys-design-week-in-new-york-this-june 2026-04-28T10:59:24-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/rare-trove-of-keith-haring-works-make-auction-debut-at-sothebys 2026-04-28T11:27:51-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/sothebys-may-marquee-sales-unveiled 2026-04-29T11:41:45-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/most-valuable-collection-ever-to-be-offered-in-the-uk-masterpieces-from-the-lewis-collection-come-to-sothebys-london-in-june 2026-04-30T11:23:28-04:00 https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/14-8m-total-for-sothebys-islamic-middle-eastern-art-sales-up-20-on-last-april 2026-04-30T15:17:42-04:00
