The auction catalog, scheduled July 28 in the format of the Evening auction, will combine the masterpieces of old masters, impressionism, modernism and contemporary art

the announcement of the auction has occurred during the press-конференции, where, among other things, for the first time since the acquisition of the auction house was attended by the owner of Sotheby's Patrick Dray (in General, this was the first public appearance of French billionaire over the last 5 years). During the press-конференции the head of the Department of art of impressionism and modernism and all of the London office of Sotheby's Helena Newman said that the new format of the evening auction, not limited to one period or one topic, will primarily meet the desires of new clients of the auction house.

"I believe this format is particularly convenient in today's global collectors who are not looking at things in the typical and conventional categories of the art market, — she said. — and We expect that it will be most appropriate for a fast growing number of clients Sotheby's who come [to the market] without-либо preconceptions about formats of sales".

In an unusual format, as it is expected, will be held the evening auction of contemporary art on July 29. In conditions when the large gathering of people in one room still prohibited quarantine measures, trades take place in real time online. The auctioneer will lead the live broadcasts of the office Sotheby's in London, and to participate in the auction will be online and on the phone.
