Contemporary Art: A Visit @ Sotheby`s London

(Drivebycuriosity) - My wife and I are staying in  London and are visiting the fascinating museums and art galleries there. We went to Sotheby`s one of the global auction empires, where we saw the galleries for their auctions of Post War & Contemporary Art   ( ).

I got the impression that this place is more elegant and stylish than their Manhattan house where we usually go. The admission was free and taking photos permitted as in New York. I spotted there many of my favorites, but also discovered some new & fascinating artists. I display just some my favorites from the shows here, a small and very subjective selection as usual.

On top of this post you can see Jenny Saville`s "Shadow Head" .

 

London may be a better market for Chinese art than New York because US President Trump`s ridiculous tariffs and the xenophobia and China hate of the US administration. Above you can see 3 Chinese works including Zhang Xiogang`s "Big Family" and a painting by Zeng Fanzhi.

 

Above you can see Caroline Walker`s "Upstairs Downstairs".
