"The central collection at the heart of the "Modern Legacy" reflects the singular taste and journey of a single collector over many years. Meticulously built and passed down, it is a testament to art's ability to transcend borders and eras, showing a distinct cross section of art history."
"A key highlight from the "Modern Legacy" sale is none other than Portrait d'Hélène Franck (1924) by Japanese-French painter Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita. Dating from the prodigious years the artist spent in Paris, the portrait offers a glimpse into the social and cultural atmosphere of the period-both the execution and subject matter of the work reflect refinement and sophistication."
"The sale also includes works by Modern masters, like Edvard Munch's otherworldly Madonna (1902) and the Female Nude (1917) by Egon Schiele completed in his signature figurative style. Works dating from the second half of the 20th century by names such as David Hockney, Donald Judd, and Richard Serra, just to name a few, bring depth and context to the overarching sale selection."
SBI Art Auction hosts two sales in March alongside Art Fair Tokyo. The 77th auction, "Modern Legacy," features a significant single-owner Japanese collection spanning 20th and 21st century art, including works by Foujita, Munch, and Schiele, alongside contemporary masters like Hockney, Judd, and Serra. The 78th auction, "Bloom Now," returns for its fifth iteration showcasing contemporary art's diverse facets. Together, these sales present art history from iconic modern figures to today's most exciting emerging artists, reflecting one collector's refined taste built over many years.
