While things have been going well thus far, the Contemporary Curated sale at Sotheby\u2019s York Avenue location in New York was the one auction to remember. While the sale did feature many works by today\u2019s great living artists like Maurizio Cattelan, KAWS, and Kehinde Wiley, it also included some slightly older twentieth-century works of modern art by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Robert Motherwell, Yves Klein, and Elaine de Kooning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The work used by Sotheby\u2019s to promote the sale was also the painting clearly expected by the auction house to come out as the top lot. Sotheby\u2019s specialists gave an untitled 1985 oil painting by Joan Mitchell an estimate range of $3 million to $5 million. Following her death in 1992, Mitchell bequeathed the painting to the seller, in whose possession it has remained since. The blues, greens, and a hint of red and orange are reminiscent of some of Monet\u2019s water lily paintings, a dialogue highlighted by an exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in 2023. The Mitchell received a bit of attention, just enough to put it over its minimum estimate, hammering at $3.2 million (or $3.95 million w\/p).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56059\" style=\"width: 256px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/George-Condo-Artist-and-Muse-2015.webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56059\" class=\"wp-image-56059\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/George-Condo-Artist-and-Muse-2015-300x269.webp\" alt=\"An abstract double portrait of a man and a woman.\" width=\"246\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/George-Condo-Artist-and-Muse-2015-300x269.webp 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/George-Condo-Artist-and-Muse-2015.webp 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-56059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Artist and Muse<\/em> by George Condo<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Following up the Mitchell was another one of the sale\u2019s high-value lots. This one was a 2015 painting by George Condo called <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Artist and Muse<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Sotheby\u2019s specialists wrote that in the painting, Condo synthesizes \u201cthe vigor of Abstract Expressionism, the rigor of Old Master portraiture, the wry humor of Pop art, all while being grounded in Picasso\u2019s revolutionary principles of Cubism.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201d<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> The Sotheby\u2019s specialists stressed Condo\u2019s relationship with Picasso and its influence on this painting. In particular, the connection between an artist and their muse was always an important component of Picasso\u2019s work. <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Artist and Muse<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> eventually sold at its high estimate of $1.5 million (or $1.88 million w\/p).

It\u2019s part painting, part sculpture. Sotheby\u2019s specialists predicted it would sell for between $800K and $1.2 million. Several bidders seem to have had their eye on the work, with one final bid taking it over the top and snagging it for $1.22 million (or $1.54 million w\/p).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56060\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysdubuffet-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56060\" class=\"wp-image-56060\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysdubuffet-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"An abstract painted sculpture of sold black lines filled in with blue and red.\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysdubuffet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysdubuffet-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysdubuffet-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysdubuffet-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/sothebysdubuffet-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-56060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Echec \u00e0 l&#8217;\u00eatre<\/em> by Jean Dubuffet<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Contemporary Curated sale had a few surprises, with six of the ninety-five available lots selling for more than double their high estimates.
