The department presents important works by modernist icons Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Marc Chagall; midcentury Abstract Expressionists Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, and Hans Hofmann; Pop artists Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Tom Wesselmann; contemporary painters Sam Gilliam, Ed Clark, Elizabeth Osborne, and Thomas Chimes; and sculpture luminaries Barbara Hepworth, Alexander Calder, and Henry Moore, among many others.
Modern, Post-War and Contemporary Art auctions are carefully curated and highly researched, reflecting clients’ ever-evolving collecting habits, as new artists, movements, and markets gain relevance. The department presents fresh-to-market works and single-owner estates and collections that have fetched strong prices. Recent successes include François-Xavier Lalanne ($2.1M) from a prominent Washington, D.C. family; The Estate of Joan Conway Crancer, St. Louis, Missouri ($3.6M); Property from the Collection of Carol H. and Richard M. Levin, Kansas City, Missouri ($1.95M); The Stanley Bard Collection: Life at the Chelsea; and 18 Works from the Bachman Collection ($2.1M).
