Engage with groundbreaking American art of the modern age at Christie’s New York on 21 April.

Leading with Marsden Hartley’s On the Beach, this important collection includes works by Arthur Dove, Stuart Davis, John Marin and more noteworthy artists. Modern American Art continues the day’s offering of American paintings, works on paper and sculptures from the early twentieth century. This selection presents many prominent artists’ contributions to figuration, abstraction and landscape from the modernist movement.

We welcome you to view the works in person at the Rockefeller Center galleries from 14–20 April.
