Auction introduction: Sotheby’s is pleased to present Contemporary Discoveries, our exciting cross-category auction platform that features paintings, sculpture, prints, and photographs from the 1950’s to today. In tandem with Modern Discoveries, with its focus on early Impressionism through the first half of the 20th century, Contemporary Discoveries is an innovative showcase for extraordinary artworks by established and emerging artists alike. This season’s auction will feature wonderful examples by Alexander Calder, Christo, and Tom Wesselmann alongside choice works by Mark Tansey, Deborah Butterfield, Emmi Whitehorse and Frank Stella.
The Contemporary Discoveries auction will open for bidding on July 8th, and lots will close in succession on July 15th. Our highlights exhibition will open at our York Avenue galleries on July 10th.
