Sotheby’s is honored to present a selection of almost 60 paintings, works on paper and prints hailing from an exceptional private collection in The Exquisite Corpus Day Auction this November. Bookended by gems by 20th-century masters Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, this single-owner collection traces the throughlines of modernism, representing especially the rich constellation of artists who pushed the boundaries of Surrealism. Paintings and works on paper by key artists such as Max Ernst and René Magritte feature in vivid conversation with those of their contemporaries, brilliantly capturing the spirit of imagination and intellectual curiosity that defined the Surrealist epoch.
