Auction introduction: Effective May 20th, 2024, Sotheby's has lowered its Buyer's Premium rates and removed Overhead Premium for all categories excluding Wine & Spirits. Sotheby's Overhead Premium will only be charged for Wine & Spirits lots. Please refer to the Conditions of Business located on the relevant sale page for the updated rates. We are pleased to present the July Discoveries sales, which bring together diverse artworks of various media, regions and eras from each of Sotheby’s Fine Art Departments in an exciting sale context. The sales encompass paintings, prints, photographs, digital art and sculptures from the last 150 years. Modern Discoveries focuses on early Impressionism through ground-breaking Abstract Expressionism. Contemporary Discoveries focuses on artwork from the 1960s to today. This sale series is designed with the collector of today in mind: both emerging buyers, who have no reason to limit the scope of their collections, as well as those connoisseurs whose collections already transcend traditional categories. The Contemporary Discoveries auction will open for bidding on Tuesday, July 9th, and lots will close in succession on Tuesday, July 16th. Kindly note, the highlights exhibition will open at our York Avenue galleries on Wednesday, July 10th.
