Auction overview
As the pinnacle of the 20th/21st Century Art week this spring in Paris, the much-anticipated Christie’s Evening Sale will be held on 9 April. Led by outstanding works by three of the greatest names of modern art, Marc Chagall, René Magritte and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Fresh to the market, the Impressionist and modern art section also comprises of a hand-picked selection of museum-quality paintings, from Gustave Caillebotte to Kees van Dongen, from Odilon Redon to Léon Spilliaert, from Max Ernst to Alexander Archipenko.
On the post-war and contemporary art front, we will present a remarkable selection of works by Jean Dubuffet, including a 1950 Corps de Dame and two works from the Hourloupe series. The sale will also feature an important work by Nicolas de Staël dated 1953, an iconic Tauromachia by Miquel Barceló, an historic work by Antoni Tàpies as well as two paintings by Kazuo Shiraga from a private Japanese collection never seen on the market before. Among the highlights are works by renowned contemporary artists such as Sean Scully, Georg Baselitz, Robert Longo and Erró.
Following the success of the October 2024 Paris sale season, the sale will also feature the popular Thinking Italian section with works by modern and post-war Italian artists, including two single-cut on red and white canvas by Lucio Fontana, a metaphysical Ettore and Andromaca by Giorgio de Chirico and another one from the rare series of Mobili nella valle, a rare work dated 1974 from the series of biro by Alighiero Boetti, Il dolce far niente, coming from the collection of the artist Arnaldo Pomodoro alongside a rare 1978 masterpiece by Alighiero Boetti Segno e disegno, in nine elements, to end with an exceptional Achrome by Piero Manzoni coming from a private collection where it has been housed for decades.
