Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening Sale - 10 May 2011
Sotheby’s 10 May Contemporary Art Evening Auction will be led by Jeff Koons’ iconic Pink Panther, one of the most important works by the artist ever to have appeared at auction, and Andy Warhol’s Sixteen Jackies, an extraordinarily rare declaration of the twin pedestals on which Warhol’s artistic genius rest: universal public icons and serial imagery (ests. $20/30 million each).
The auction also includes major works by many of the leading artists of the 20th and 21st centuries including Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lucio Fontana, Roy Lichtenstein, and Willem de Kooning among others. The sale follows the two volume evening sale of Property from the Collection of Allan Stone the previous day. All the works will be on view from 6 May with select highlights on exhibition from tomorrow.
