<br>The London Evening Sale will offer works by artists that defined the artistic movements of the 20th Century, while showcasing their legacy in those artists shaping the 21st Century. Sixty-six per cent of the Sale has never before been offered at auction. Exquisite paintings by Paul Cezanne and Vincent van Gogh have been treasured in two distinct collections, each for more than 100 years, while Alexander Calders The Ghost has remained in the same family collection since 1947
The Art of the Surreal Evening Sale presents Memory of a Surreal Journey: Property from an Important San Francisco Bay Area Collection, a collection of 25 works showcasing the magical interpretations of the world by artists including Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Dorothea Tanning and Leonor Fini. Presented through Christies unique sale platform exclusively devoted to Surrealist art, the collection was built over more than two decades around a formative trip to Mexico and highlights the dialogues across Latin and Northern America as well as Europe. With an emphasis on revolutionary female artists, this singular collection encapsulates a zeitgeist perceived across the art world, repositioning discussions on Surrealism and the artists who came to represent the movement.
Remedios Varo, Retrato del Doctor Ignacio Chavez (1957, estimate: 2,500,000-3,500,000 Pounds) <br>Cecily Brown, Make it Rain (2014, estimate: 3,500,000-5,500,000 Pounds)
Rene Magrittes lyrical gouache Le retour (1957, estimate: 4,000,000-6,000,000 Pounds) presents a dream-like variation on one of the artists most poetic motifs: the oiseau de ciel, or sky-bird.
Christies, as the leading auction house for works by Picasso, joins the art world in a global commemoration of the artist and his legacy, on the 50th anniversary of his death. Pablo Picassos Femme dans un rocking-chair (Jacqueline) (1956, estimate: 15,000,000-20,000,000 Pounds) will lead the sale alongside four additional works by the artist
Cecily Browns magnificent painting Make it Rain (2014, estimate: Pounds 3,500,000-5,500,000) was first shown in Paris in 2014 and has remained in the same collection
Presented by Christies for the first time, Michaela Yearwood Dans Love me nots (2021, estimate: Pounds 40,000-60,000) highlights the dynamism of 21st century painters her work draws on her personal experience while the central voids in her compositions seem to reference the sky ceilings of Renaissance Italy
