Sotheby’s Gears Up for Tonight’s Impressionist and Modern Sale

Sotheby’s takes a very different tack tonight with its Impressionist and Modern sale. Christie’s proved, again, that there is great strength remaining in Impressionism. Sotheby’s follows its success with Munch with another great work from the Norwegian master (left) and more brightly colored Futurist works. Says Helena Newman:

“People’s choices are now being driven by image rather than the artist’s name. We’ve never seen a period where the bidding showed such a range of tastes.”
