Auction introduction: The Contemporary Evening Auction features artworks that capture the seismic shifts that occurred in art in the latter half of the 20th Century and the artists that paved a radical new mode of art-making altering the course of art history. Beginning with Post-War abstraction and Pop Art, and into the critical postmodern inquiries of the late 20th Century, alongside the most exciting young artists of a generation, the masterworks of the Contemporary Art Evening Auction bring into focus the plurality of visions, identities, and artistic innovations that shaped the trajectory of the art historical canon as we know it today. Effective 20 May 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.
