Impressionist, Modern & Contemporary Art | An Evening Sale 
Sotheby’s is pleased to announce a new, cross-category auction which will bring together masterworks encompassing the most renowned artists from the late 19th century to the most in-demand contemporary artists working today. Highlighted by Pablo Picasso’s spectacular Buste de Femme Assisefrom 1962, a portrait of the artist’s wife and muse Jacqueline, the sale veers from figuration to abstraction with an almost contemporaneous work by Jean Dubuffet from the fabled l’Hourloupe cycle. A conceptual masterpiece by Glenn Ligon addressing issues of race and sexuality revels in its tactility, and is provided perfect counterbalance by Chaïm Soutine’s churning landscape from 1920. As a whole, the group of works included in this carefully curated auction tell the story of artistic progression over the last 150 years.
