Sotheby's Shares Highlights from Cross-Category Impressionist, Modern & Contemporary Art Evening Sale

Milton Avery’s Sunset Sea (estimate $3/5 million) from 1958 was painted during the artist’s customary summer-long working vacation in Provincetown, Massachusetts. During this time, Avery created some of his largest and most elemental abstract paintings. Sunset Sea belongs to this group of majestic canvases essentializing sky and ocean, and reflects both the time and place in which Avery created the work. Avery’s Sunset Sea conveys the sense of awe that can be evoked by the descending light over Provincetown Harbor—one of the few places in the US where one can witness the sun setting over the Atlantic.

The Evening Sale is further distinguished by Jenny Saville’s Reproduction drawing III (after the Leonardo cartoon) (estimate $700/900,000), an exquisite example of the artist’s unparalleled artistic virtuosity and unique ability to capture contemporary reflections on motherhood, pregnancy, and femininity; Man Ray's Untitled (Plaster Cast of a Nude Female Torso) (estimate $300/500,000), a bold experimental work from the master of the 20th century avant-garde, synthesizing the artist’s technical abilities and aesthetic talents; Mark Bradford’s Drag Her To The Path (estimate $3/5 million), a signature work by the artist that merges complex layers of social, historical, and personal significance in a powerful investigation of the contemporary urban experience; a “Crocodile” Armchair by Claude Lalanne (estimate $600/800,000), the beloved sculptor and designer known for her playfully surreal yet highly technical works; and John Baldessari’s Duck Pond Bar, National City, California (estimate $1/1.5 million), an early embodiment of the artist’s enigmatic body of work, known for his fusion of text and photography.
