Sotheby’s London is delighted to present the Modern Day Auction, taking place in March 2025 at our New Bond Street galleries. Bringing together a century of paintings, drawings and sculpture, the auction will showcase the multifaceted spirit of creativity from the late 19th century through to the mid-20th century. From the best of Impressionism to the revolutionary avant-garde movements of the 20th century, this auction encapsulates the innovative ways in which artists have dared to challenge established norms and to define art, art history and its significance through their own, individual vision.
