Sotheby’s fall Evening Sale of Impressionist and Modern Art in New York presents a balanced offering ranging from an exquisite group of classic Impressionist pictures by Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley from the family of legendary dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, to masterpieces by modern Masters like Picasso, Giacometti and Miró. The sale is overwhelmingly drawn from esteemed private collections and estates offering collectors works that are extremely fresh to the market.
Among the individual highlights are a powerful masterwork by Kees van Dongen which exemplifies his reputation as the greatest figural painter of the Fauves; the greatest Bauhaus-period Kandinsky to have appeared at auction in years and which was last sold in Sotheby's historic 1964 sale of Fifty Paintings by Wassily Kandinsky from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation; one of the Picasso’s finest monumental late works; and the only painted cast of Alberto Giacometti’s iconic Falling Man.
