T he New York Sales at Sotheby’s this November will present a series of auctions showcasing masterworks spanning over a century of artistic production. The sales feature the major artistic movements of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, from the innovations of the Impressionists to the groundbreaking works by young and emerging artists working today.
The Modern Evening and Modern Day Auctions chart the production of the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, curating the historic throughlines, radical conceptual fissures and cross-continental dialogues of the last 150 years. From Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism, the Modern sales spotlight the very best examples of these critical aesthetic developments.
The Now & Contemporary Evening Auction and Contemporary Day Auction extend this narrative to the present, featuring the seismic, paradigm-shifting artworks created during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Beginning with Pop Art and Minimalism through to the well-established and newly canonized artists working today, these sale platforms bring into focus the plurality of visions, identities and innovations that have reshaped and continue to direct the trajectory of art history as we know it.
Explore the top works, collections and stories of the season as they are announced and join us for The New York Sales exhibition and live-streamed auctions this November.
