Evening Impressions

Sotheby in London sell Impressionist and Modern Art on Tuesday evening, February 8. They feature an array of works by artists for whom the female form was a central theme. From Degas studies of ballet dancers through to a Delvaux depiction of Venus, the selection of paintings demonstrate what a vital element women played to some of the most important artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Examples of Modigliani Caryatids in oil are particularly rare, so the fact that a pair is appearing at auction is unique in recent saleroom history. With work by Van Dongen, Bonnard, Picasso, Beckmann and others, Sotheby should see brisk sales.
