Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale

Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale

Sale Overview

This spring, as part of Christie's flagship 20th/21st Century auction series, we are delighted to hold our biannual Modern British and Irish Art Evening Sale on 19 March. Our market-leading Evening Sale platform showcases the very best of British and Irish art from 1900 to the present day.

Christie’s Modern British and Irish Art auctions in 2024 highlighted the continued strength of this thriving and increasingly international market. Our Evening Sales achieved over £38 million in 2024, marking a 23% year-on-year increase, and surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Building on this success, we look forward to presenting an exciting array of works from this rich and diverse period of 20th and 21st century British and Irish art.

The remarkable strength of the current market for Modern British and Irish art makes this an opportune time for collectors to sell. If you are considering selling a work of art and would like a complimentary valuation, please contact a specialist below for a free and confidential appraisal or try our online auction estimate service.
