- 20th Century Week at Christie's brings together the biggest names in Impressionist and Modern Art and Modern British Art across six auctions in London this June.
The Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale on 18 June is headlined by exceptional pieces by Léger, Picasso, Matisse and Schiele. Alongside these, 13 Surrealist and Dada works are offered from The Landscape of a Mind, an important private collection, including Yves Tanguy’s L’Extinction des especes II and René Magritte’s Le parc du vautour– both superb examples of their kind, offered at auction for the first time – and an iconic Mae West Lips Sofa by Salvador Dalí and Edward James.
