The Shanghai to London Series #IndiaNEWS #IANS Life
By IANSlifeNew Delhi, Feb 23 (IANSlife) Launching the 20/21 Marquee Sale Weeks in 2022, Christies March season will establish a dialogue between the cities of London and Shanghai. The 20/21 Shanghai to London series of sales will also be live and live-streamed to our salerooms in Hong Kong and New York. This unique platform showcases the finest examples of art that span the dynamic art movements and artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Franz Marcs 1913 masterpiece The Foxes, will be offered for sale at Christies on 1 March 2022 with a pre-sale estimate on request (in the region of £35,000,000). Filled with a vivid play of vibrant colour and prismatic form, The Foxes is a masterpiece of Modernism, which has graced several great collections over the course of its life, most recently the Kunstpalast Museum in Dusseldorf, before its restitution to the heirs of Kurt and Else Grawi.
Masterpieces By Bacon And Freud: The School Of London
An extraordinary meditation on the passage of time, and a rhapsody on the solitude of the human condition, Triptych 1986-7 (1986-87, estimate: £35,000,000-55,000,000, illustrated page one) stands among Francis Bacons last great paintings. Across three monumental canvases, his most rare and celebrated format, he entwines imagery drawn from the annals of twentieth-century history with a poignant, retrospective view of his own life and art. In the year that marks the centenary of the artists birth, Lucian Freuds masterpiece of frank, tender observation, Girl with Closed Eyes (1986-87, £10,000,000-15,000,000,) will also make its auction debut.
The painting is among the most exquisite of Lucian Freuds triumphant 1980s portraits. Reclined on a bed in the artists Holland Park studio, the sitter, Janey Longman, is caught as if in a reverie. In addition, a rare work on paper held in the same family collection for more than half a century, Lobster (1944, estimate: £1,300,000-1,800,000) is an exquisite showcase of Lucian Freuds early practice.
We are thrilled to launch the 20/21 Marquee Weeks this year. The 20th / 21st Century: London Evening Sale provides Christies London with a unique global platform, connecting our clients worldwide and offering them the opportunity to acquire exquisite masterpieces in a dialogue, which spans 150 years of pioneering artistic vision from Lucian Freud to Flora Yukhnovich and from Franz Marc to Jadé Fadojutimi.
