Modern British and Irish Art

As market leader for the category since 2008, we are delighted to present our Modern British and Irish Art auctions as part of Christie’s flagship 20th/21st Century sale series. We also offer important single-owner collection sales and private selling exhibitions throughout the year.

 

Reflecting the international appeal of this period, our auctions showcase paintings, sculpture, works on paper and British studio ceramics by some of the leading artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.

 

With over 120 years of combined experience, we have the most knowledgeable Modern British and Irish Art team in the market. We hold world record prices for many of the most prominent artists in the field including Henry Moore, Dame Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Sir Stanley Spencer, L.S. Lowry, Bridget Riley, Pauline Boty, Sir John Lavery, Peter Lanyon and David Bomberg.
