Sotheby’s to Sell Embiricos Works

October 4, 2012 by Marion Maneker

Carol Vogel reports on the arrival of part of the George Embiricos estate upon the market through Sotheby’s where 11 works estimated around $30 million will be sold:

For sale on Nov. 5 will be Cézanne’s “Femme à L’Hermine, d’Après le Greco,” from 1885-86, which depicts a woman in a fur shawl that was inspired by a 16th-century painting by El Greco. It is estimated to sell for $5 million to $7 million.

Embiricos also owned several paintings by Francis Bacon, and Sotheby’s is selling “Study for Head of Isabel Rawsthorne” on Nov. 13. The 1967 canvas, which is thought to sell for $9 million to $12 million, was last at auction at Sotheby’s in London in 1983.
