O ur flagship sale of Modern British & Irish Art headlines Sotheby's British & Irish Art week, comprising a dynamic series of sales and events celebrating the artistic landscape of Britain and Ireland from the 19th to the 21st century. On Sunday 20 and Monday 21 November, we will host a series of free curated talks with artists, curators and historians which explore Britain's avant-garde artistic heritage, coinciding with the launch of Jo Baring’s new collection of essays Revisiting Modern British Art published by Lund Humphries in October 2022.

Our Modern & British Art live sale brings together some of the greatest artists working in Britain and Ireland in the 20th century, from William Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, William Roberts, L. S. Lowry and Elisabeth Frink to Jack B. Yeats and Samuel John Peploe. Many are emerging from long held private collections or are making their auction debuts. Our online sales of Modern British, Scottish Art and Irish Art, bring a further superb selection of works to the market, all of which will be on view during our British & Irish Art week.
