About This Auction

Sotheby's Modern Day Auction draws together over a century of paintings, drawings and sculpture from across Europe and the Americas to showcase the best of Impressionism and the revolutionary avant-garde movements of the 20th century. Interweaving these movements, counter-movements and transnational cross-currents, the Modern Day Auction encapsulates innovation. Often defying categorization by continent or medium, these artists have dared to challenge tradition to shape the history of modern art. This November marks a historic moment, as Sotheby’s will host the auction and pre-sale exhibition for the first time at the Breuer on Madison Avenue, an iconic Brutalist landmark enmeshed in the cultural fabric of New York City.
