  • 8 July 2022
  • The Discoveries sale series brings together diverse artworks of various media, regions and eras from each of Sotheby’s Fine Art Departments in an exciting sale context. We are pleased to present the second instance of our pioneering cross-category sale series this July.
    The sales bring together paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures from the last 150 years. Modern Discoveries focuses on early Impressionism through ground-breaking Abstract Expressionism. Contemporary Discoveries focuses on artwork from the 1960s to today. This sale series is designed with the collector of today in mind: both emerging buyers, who have no reason to limit the scope of their collections, as well as those connoisseurs whose collections already transcend traditional categories...
    Highlights include works by Contemporary artists such as Os Gêmeos, Andy Warhol, Victor Vasarely, David Hockney, Larry Bell, Aboudia, George Condo and Larry Poons, among many others.
