Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening Auction

This May, Sotheby’s is pleased to offer a selection of superb examples by some of the most exciting and innovative artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Ranging from masterworks by the leading Abstract Expressionists, whose groundbreaking work in the wake of World War II forever transformed the very possibilities of art, to sculptors expanding the traditional boundaries of three-dimensional space, to a group of trailblazing African-American artists who have donated works to benefit the Studio Museum in Harlem, the artists represented in Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction this May have possessed a prescient eye and demonstrated a fearless drive to push traditional boundaries.
