20th Century Week Highlights Tour

Worldwide, September – October 2016

Join us for the global tour of New York’s 20th Century Week, featuring Post-War and Contemporary Art and Impressionist & Modern Art. Highlights from the week will be traveling to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Los Angeles, San Francisco and London, before returning to our flagship saleroom at New York’s Rockefeller Plaza galleries. A star lot from our Impressionist and Modern Art Evening sale, Wassily Kandinsky’s Rigide et courbé will be touring on a different schedule from the other highlights. See schedule below.
