The Stern’s passion and dedication for artists from Israel, the Middle East and Africa, particularly from South Africa and Cameroon, will be honored with a selection of offerings in Sotheby’s auctions of Israeli & International Art and Modern and Contemporary African Art. The former, taking place in New York on 20 December, will shine a spotlight on artists including Eliezer Sonnenschein, Adi Nes and Michael Gross. The latter, Sotheby’s second annual auction of Modern and Contemporary African Art in March 2018, will showcase sculptures by artists including Nandipha Mntambo and Claudette Schreuders as well as works on paper by Pascale Marthine Tayou.

Finally, in March 2018, Sotheby’s offerings will culminate in a dedicated sale of TO LIVE WITH ART: Property from the Jerome & Ellen Stern Collection. This auction, comprised of over 150 works of art, encapsulates the Stern’s passion for young artists from around the world. Particularly robust in sculpture, the spring auction will feature works by Olafur Eliasson, Marcos Ramirez Erre and Edward Kienholz, prints by Gerhard Richter, and photographs by well-known artists such as Anna and Bernhard Blume, and Zhang Huan.
