Krátky popis
A celebration of the stories behind 100 of the most iconic objects
to pass through the doors of one of the world’s most legendary
auction houses Icons traces the extraordinary heritage of
international auction house Sotheby’s through one hundred of the
most significant works sold under its banner. With works spanning
across history and mediums – from a 67-million-year-old
Tyrannosaurus rex to Maurizio Cattelan's infamous banana – this
engaging book offers readers an exclusive glimpse into the journey
of each artwork through its arrival in Sotheby’s salesroom. The
presentation of these exceptional objects, from some of the most
prestigious collections entrusted to Sotheby’s, gives
behind-the-scenes access to pivotal moments in art market history.
From national icons such as the Constitution and auction sensations
such as Banksy’s unforgettable, partially shredded Girl Without
Balloon, each prized work is shown as a large-format image
accompanied by an informative text written by Sotheby’s
specialists. Select entries also include contextual images – such
as the work shown in situ or on the auction floor – as well as
immersive quotes from curators, critics in the field and the
Sotheby’s specialists who brought them to sale. From rediscoveries,
to record-breaking lots and 'white glove' auctions, every object
sold through Sotheby’s has a riveting story to tell. Published to
coincide with Sotheby’s marquee move back to the Breuer – a
landmark of the New York art scene, having previously belonged to
the Whitney Museum of American Art, and later the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, and the Frick Collection – Icons highlights the
legacy of the auction house through the masterpieces it has had the
privilege of stewarding. Featured artists and creators include
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brâncusi,
Leonora Carrington, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Salvador Dalí, Helen
Frankenthaler, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Vincent van
Gogh, Edward Hopper, Frida Kahlo, Gustav Klimt, Jacob Lawrence,
Édouard Manet, Andrea Mantegna, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Joan
Mitchell, Piet Mondrian, Georgia O'Keeffe, Patek Philippe, Pablo
Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Raphael, Norman Rockwell, Mark Rothko,
Georges Seurat, and Louis Comfort Tiffany, among others.
