Dear Friends and Clients, In my 21 years at Sotheby's, including more than a decade as Principal Auctioneer, I have seen many historic sales. Only weeks ago, Sotheby's made history again in Hong Kong, with the record for an auction series by a global art business in Asia; totalling $535 million, the series set records in every category, including Chinese Contemporary Art and Magnificent Jewels. At the same time, we announced plans for a major auction and three selling exhibitions to be held later this season in Beijing, the undisputed art capital of China. Now, New York takes centre stage in the international art market, and Sotheby's is poised to set records again. As the Worldwide Head of Contemporary Art I am especially looking forward to the postwar masterpieces we have brought together; even more extraordinary is that they can be seen in the context of treasures from many other periods and collecting areas. Our specialists have sourced some of the finest works in memory. Highlights of this amazing season can be found below, and we very much hope that you will visit us to experience them firsthand.
