New York Fall Auction Season Begins
Sotheby’s and Christie’s are set to begin the New York Fall auction season with their Impressionist and Modern sales.
The current issues of Art and Auction discusses some of the highlights in this preview. Among them, Christie’s will feature sculptures by artists such as Degas and Brancusi estimated at $25-35 million and $8-10 million respectively. They will also present two Picasso paintings, both estimated at $12-18 million, and works by Ernst, Delvaux, Wasserman and Matisse, to name a few of their heavy-hitters.
Sotheby’s “has Impressionist gems as well” such as Monet’s Antibes seascape, estimated at $5-7 million, as well as works by Caillebotte and Magritte. Works by Klimt and Picasso are at the top of their sale, both with estimates around $25 million.
