Opening on Monday, 12 May, the week begins with Leonard & Louise Riggio: Collected Works, a refined single-owner collection, followed by the 20th Century Evening Sale.
The series continues with the Impressionist and Modern Art Works on Paper and Day Sales, the 21st Century Evening Sale, and concludes on 15 May with the Post-War and Contemporary Art Day Sale.
This glittering week offers works of extraordinary provenance, with a special spotlight on Latin American visionaries and trailblazing female artists.
The Riggio Collection features icons including Mondrian, Picasso, Giacometti and Magritte. Meanwhile, the 20th Century Evening Sale presents a luminous Rothko from the celebrated Bass House, alongside Monet’s jewel-toned Peupliers au bord de l’Epte and rare works by Warhol, Tanning and Varo.
The 21st Century Evening Sale promises contemporary brilliance, headlined by a rare Basquiat triple portrait, believed to depict the artist and his parents.
