Sotheby’s is delighted to present the collection of Jimmy Younger during Masters Week 2024. Assembled with conviction and care over several decades, the drawings, paintings, sculptures, furniture, and works of decorative art that comprise the sale encapsulate the varied, and at times contradictory, artistic trends that defined European Mannerist and Baroque art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
George Watcher, Chairman of Sotheby’s Americas, fondly recalls his friendship with Jimmy Younger, a distinguished collector celebrated for his remarkable Old Master pieces by renowned artists. Christopher Apostle, Sotheby’s International Head of Old Masters, shares similar sentiments, emphasizing Younger’s captivating spirit and the depth of his extensive collection of drawings and paintings.
