Icons 100 Extraordinary Objects from Sotheby's History
Icons traces the extraordinary legacy of international auction house Sotheby's through 100 of the most significant works sold under its banner. With works spanning different histories and media, from a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex to Maurizio's infamous Cattelan banana, this engaging book offers readers an exclusive insight into each artwork's journey to its arrival in Sotheby's salesroom.
The presentation of these objects, drawn from some of the most prestigious collections entrusted to Sotheby's, offers behind-the-scenes access to pivotal moments in the history of the art market.
From national icons such as the Constitution to auction hits such as Banksy's unforgettable, partially smashed "Girl Without a Balloon", each award-winning work is shown as a large-format image accompanied by informative text written by Sotheby's specialists.
Selected entries also include contextual images, such as the work displayed in situ or in the auction room, as well as immersive quotes from curators, industry critics and the Sotheby's specialists who put them up for sale.
From rediscoveries to record lots and white-glove auctions, every object sold through Sotheby's has a fascinating story to tell.
Published to coincide with the return of Sotheby's marquee to the Breuer - a landmark of the New York art scene, formerly owned by the Whitney Museum of American Art, and subsequently the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Frick Collection - Icons highlights the auction house's legacy through the masterpieces it has been privileged to curate.
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.
