We are pleased to present the first installation of Discoveries sales for 2025, which comprise diverse artworks of various media, regions and eras from each of Sotheby’s Fine Art Departments in an exciting sale context. The sales bring together paintings, prints, photographs, digital art and sculptures from the last 150 years. Modern Discoveries focuses on early Impressionism through ground-breaking Abstract Expressionism. Contemporary Discoveries focuses on artwork from the 1960s to today. This sale series is designed with the collector of today in mind: both emerging buyers, who have no reason to limit the scope of their collections, as well as those connoisseurs whose collections already transcend traditional categories.

The Contemporary Discoveries auction will open for bidding on Wednesday, February 5th, and lots will close in succession on Thursday, February 13th. Our highlights exhibition will open at our York Avenue galleries on Saturday, February 8th.

Effective May 20th, 2024, Sotheby's has lowered its Buyer's Premium rates and removed Overhead Premium for all categories excluding Wine & Spirits. Sotheby's Overhead Premium will only be charged for Wine & Spirits lots. Please refer to the Conditions of Business located on the relevant sale page for the updated rates.
