The article highlights two notable art auctions featuring works by prominent artists. Sotheby's will auction a rare drawing by Caspar David Friedrich, depicting a beach in Wieck, Germany, which has significant historical value. The work's provenance adds to its allure, being a gift from Friedrich to a fellow artist. In contrast, at Phillips, Keith Haring's 'Untitled' from the 1988 Gran Pavese - The Flag Project will be auctioned, showcasing Haring's contribution to a larger exhibition that travelled globally, emphasizing diverse artistic interpretations of flags.
"This sketch, from the collection of a noble European family, likely depicts the beach in Wieck, Germany... Friedrich drawings of this significance are rare on the market."
"The Flag Project invited 50 artists to design their own interpretation of a flag, with no other themes or boundaries beyond the size or medium."
