LONDON (AP) – Auction House Sotheby’s is presenting a net sale spanning five centuries of art history, from Rembrandt to Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro to Banksy.
After months of interruption due to the coronavirus outbreak, the sale of 70 works of art, from the 17th century to the present day, can be broadcast on Tuesday from Sotheby’s London.
“As the global art calendar has changed, we too have taken the opportunity to do things differently,” said Helena Newman, president of Sotheby’s Europe. The auction is aimed at “a new generation of creditors (who) care about less classic categories of the art market position of the past,” he added.
The maximum value portraits come with Miro’s 1927 portrait “Painting (Woguy in the Red Hat)”, estimated at 20 to 30 million pounds ($2 five to $37 five million), and a Rembrandt self-portrait of 1632, one of only 3 in private. Hands. It is estimated that the Rembrandt will bring up to twelve million pounds ($20 million).
The auction also includes a Triptych by Banksy entitled “View to the Mediterranean Sea”, painted in 2017. The panel of 3 paintings, presented in elaborate classic settings, presents life jackets of the university and alludes to the lives lost at sea to the European migration crisis. The profits from the paintings, which are expected to vary from $1 millivers to $1.5 million, will increase the budget for a hospital in Bethlehem.
Sotheby’s London said about two-thirds of the art for sale had never been auctioned before. Of the others, the maximum was two decades.
