As major auction houses prepare for May's events, they are showcasing remarkable collections to attract buyers amid economic uncertainties. A significant highlight is the Bass House collection, comprised of nine abstract masterpieces from renowned artists such as Mark Rothko and Alexander Calder. Acquired by Sid and Anne Bass, this collection exemplifies the integration of art with architecture in their Texas villa designed by architect Paul Rudolph. Christie's emphasizes the collection's significance in the upcoming 20th Century Evening Sale as a celebration of modern art's finest names.
"We are thrilled to present Art from the Bass House as a cornerstone of Marquee Week this spring. This collection brings together the best in art, architecture, design and style."
"The Bass House was called 'one of the great achievements not only of Rudolph's prolific career, but of American architecture' by architecture critic Paul Goldberger."
