Auction introduction: The November 2024 Modern Day Auction draws together a century of paintings, drawings and sculpture from across Europe and the Americas to showcase the best of Impressionism to the revolutionary avant-garde movements of the 20th century. Interlacing these movements, counter-movements and cross-currents, which defy categorization by continent or medium, the Modern Day Auction encapsulates the innovative ways in which artists have dared to challenge artistic norms and to define art history through their unique visions. 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.
