Today, we’re revealing an unprecedented group of 12 Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, each one a masterpiece with distinguished provenance and rarity. This is ‘Legendary: The Blaquier-Arrieta Collection,’ headlining The New York Sales in November. Swipe to see each of the 12 masterworks.
This collection is led by two landmark paintings: ‘Châtaigniers en fleurs’ by Vincent van Gogh and ‘Arlequin’ by Paul Cézanne. Neither has been seen in public for over half a century and both are poised to set new auction records at #SothebysNewYork this fall.
The wider group traces the arc of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s ‘En Canot (Jeune fille à la barque)’—a boating scene painted the year the Impressionists took their name, Camille Pissarro’s grand Parisian streetscape ‘La Place du Théâtre-Français, soleil d’après-midi en hiver,’ and Edgar Degas’s pastel ‘Avant la course.’ Like the great majority of works in the collection, these paintings have never been offered at auction before.
A selection of these are on view 30 September - 1 October at #SothebysLondon before they embark on a global tour to our galleries in Taipei, Hong Kong, Paris, and New York. Learn more about the collection and register to bid in the November evening auction, presented in partnership with @celine, at the link in bio.

Just announced: more than 20 works will kick off The New York Sales in Visionary: The Extraordinary Collection of Theodore and Ruth Baum. This dedicated evening sale highlights the artists who revolutionized contemporary art, with many works appearing at auction for the first time in decades.
The Baums were storytellers in every sense, which guided their curiosity as they built a collection that transcended movements, generations and geographies. They traveled the world in pursuit of great works by the visionaries of American abstraction, the innovators of Pop, Minimalism and Conceptualism, and the radical experimenters of Postwar Italian art.
On 16 November, works by Mark Rothko, Joan Mitchell, Ed Ruscha and more will auction at #SothebysNewYork in a dedicated evening sale, presented in partnership with @celine. Discover the full collection and register to bid at the link in bio.

Mark Rothko’s ‘Untitled’ from 1967 was the first contemporary work the Baums ever acquired nearly 50 years ago. It ranks among the greatest of the artist’s mature paintings on paper. Created during the final years of his life, the fiery red and brilliant orange work demonstrates Rothko’s command of color to communicate the breadth of human emotion.
Joan Mitchell’s ‘Green Book of Barbara Guest’ will make its auction debut this November and appear on public view for the first time in six decades during our highlights exhibition.
The title references Mitchell’s friend, art critic and poet Barbara Guest, marking a rare example of a title which provides a glimpse into her inner circle rather than referencing landscapes or natural forms.
Andy Warhol’s canvas ‘The Scream (After Edvard Munch)’ translates Munch’s most emotionally charged image into a seductive and unmistakably Pop icon. To this 20th-century American visionary captivated by the power of images, the 19th-century Norwegian artist offered a revelation: an art that expressed intense and specific emotions but still resonated with audiences ac

How an intimate figurative painting inspired the most celebrated series in Monet’s career.
To better understand the inspirations behind Monet’s ‘La Barque bleue,’ we went on the water with Sotheby’s Scott Niichel. In 1887, Monet challenged himself to combine his love of Giverny countryside with a return to portraiture, so he embarked on a series of works featuring his extended family. These boat scenes in the water foreshadow his great ‘Nymphéas,’ which began just a few years later.
‘La Barque bleue’ will come to auction at #SothebysNewYork on 18 November. To watch the full video and register to bid in The New York Sales, presented in partnership with @celine, tap the link in bio.

Made over 200 years apart, two paintings by Gaetano Gandolfi and Cecily Brown have more in common than you might think.
Here, Sotheby’s Specialists Lucius Elliott and Calvine Harvey examine what unites the two. Gandolfi's ‘The Birth of Venus’ and Brown's ‘Untitled (Shipwreck)’ are both striking, theatrical renditions of the sea. They hold a monumental presence, capturing the water’s power and beauty.
Both works are also highlights of Expanding Horizons: The Hedreen Collection, which spans from the 15th century to the present day. Watch the full video, featuring three pairings of Old Master and contemporary paintings, on Sothebys.com.
‘Untitled (Shipwreck)’ stars in The Now and Contemporary Evening Auction, presented in partnership with @celine, on 16 November at #SothebysNewYork. Visit the link in bio to register to bid and discover the full collection, which will continue with Masters Week in 2027.

Enjoy a night at the ballet with Edgar Degas and his tour de force painting ‘Trois danseuses (Jupes jaunes).’ This masterpiece from Degas’ late career has been in Armand Hammer’s esteemed private collection for 55 years, and it’s now on view at #SothebysNewYork.
Watch as Sotheby’s Frances Asquith speaks to the theatricality of this work, which reflects the energy of the Hammer Collection. Here, Degas transforms a familiar motif from his career—the informal gathering of dancers awaiting their entrance—into an immersive field of color, movement and sensation.
‘Trois danseuses (Jupes jaunes)’ will be on view at the Breuer through 18 November ahead of The Modern Evening Auction, presented in partnership with @celine. Reserve your free tickets to the exhibition at the link in bio.

The world’s most famous little black dress has arrived at #SothebysGeneva: Princess Diana’s one and only ‘Revenge Dress.’
Worn by the Princess of Wales in 1994 at London’s Serpentine Gallery, this striking black silk evening dress has become an enduring symbol of confidence, independence and self-expression. Designed by Christina Stambolian, the unforgettable creation challenged the conventions of royal dress at the time, when modest formal attire was the norm, and went on to become one of the most defining fashion moments of the 20th century.
The lot also includes a copy of the ‘Dresses from the Collection of Diana’ book, signed by the Princess of Wales and Stambolian.
Come view it in person at the Mandarin Oriental, Geneva, until 10 November, before its debut at #SothebysParis. Bid now at the link in bio ahead of the live auction on 9 December at #SothebysNewYork.

A defining painting of the Harlem Renaissance has arrived at #SothebysNewYork. To celebrate the inclusion of Aaron Douglas’s visionary portrait of Harriet Tubman in The New York Sales, we invited writer and director Kasi Lemmons to view the masterpiece up close.
Blending historic iconography with a bold visual language that reflects the artist's mystical spirituality and modernist style, ‘Harriet Tubman’ is one of Aaron Douglas' most powerful and resonant works.
The painting was originally commissioned for Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina. It is now being sold in The Modern Evening Auction to benefit their flagship Women’s Health Initiative, dedicated to addressing healthcare disparities and advancing health equity for women.

Hello Dolly! In this radiant portrait, Andy Warhol makes Dolly Parton’s glamour and charm eternal. See it up close at #SothebysNewYork as a highlight of The New York Sales.
Commissioned by Dolly in 1985, this is part of a limited suite of portraits Warhol made of the country star. Here, Sotheby’s Serena Hildebrandt takes us back 40 years to share how a summer in LA with Madonna and Keith Haring led to this beloved series.
Warhol’s portrait is on view through 15 November before heading to The Now and Contemporary Evening Auction, presented in partnership with @celine. Reserve your free tickets to the exhibition at the link in bio.

Uncrating a larger-than-life Botero bronze.
This is ‘Mother and Child,’ a playful sculpture from Fernando Botero and a highlight of the upcoming Contemporary Day Auction at #SothebysNewYork.
With ‘Mother and Child,’ Botero recasts one of the most familiar images in Western art as a reinterpretation of the modern family. In Renaissance images of the Holy Family, Saint Joseph usually stands behind the Virgin Mary. Here, Botero renders that relationship by placing the father beneath mother and child. Both humorous and thought-provoking, Botero transforms a traditional devotional image into a commentary on family life.
See ‘Mother and Child’ at the Breuer starting 7 November for The New York Sales, presented in partnership with @celine. Reserve your free tickets at the link in bio.
