From the pioneers of Impressionism to the leading voices of Contemporary art, this season in Paris traces over 150 years of artistic innovation through a series of exceptional sales.

At its heart, The Durand-Ruel Collection celebrates the family whose unwavering support helped shape the destiny of Impressionism, bringing together masterpieces by Monet, Sisley, Renoir and Pissarro.

The 20th/21st Century: Paris Evening Sale presents a vibrant journey across modernity, from the atmospheric visions of Sisley and Caillebotte to the electrifying energy of Joan Mitchell. The sale is further enriched by a group of Italian works, led by Modigliani, Fontana, Schifano and Pistoletto.

The dialogue continues in the day sales, where drawings, portraits and sculpture by Botero, Maillol, Derain and Hodler lead towards the language of abstraction explored by Magnelli, Poliakoff and Richter. Across the sale, landscape emerges as a unifying thread, from Boudin, Loiseau and Lhote to the bold reinterpretations of Salvo, Szafran, Riopelle and Kiefer.
