Contemporary (Day Sale)
Sale 6596

8 King Street, St. James's, London
Cutting-edge art, a staple in Christie's Contemporary art sales, typically draws large audiences into Christie's saleroom. This summer, it won't be any different.
A particularly strong grouping of British art offers varied choices---from more mainstream paintings such as those of Paula Rego, to the radical ironic minimalism of this year's Turner Prize winner Martin Creed. Alongside three works by Creed, the sale also features an important work by Marc Quinn.
Highlights in a selection of American and European works range from the street art of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring to the objectivity of German photographers, Ruff, Struth and Gursky.
Join Katharine Burton, Specialist, Contemporary & Post-War Art Department, London as she presents an audio tour of one of the highlights of this sale.
