Sotheby’s Modern Evening Auction will showcase an exceptional group of works from the esteemed collection of Joseph H. Hazen—the renowned Hollywood film producer and distinguished art collector. The collection is led by Fernand Léger's La Jeune fille au bouquet and Alberto Giacometti’s Femme debout (Poseuse I), alongside important works of Orphism including two paintings by František Kupka—among the most valuable 💎by the artist ever to appear on the market—and Robert Delaunay’s previously unseen Nature morte, created ꦐjust one year before his landmark mural for the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris.
The collection, titled Spirit of Dreams: The Joseph H. Hazen Family Collection, will be offered as part of the Modern Evening Auction in New York, with further works to be offered in the Modern and Contemporary Day Auctions. Many of these museum-quality 𝓡works have remained in the Hazen family collection for over 70 years and, in most cases, will make their auction debut this May.
S🅷otheby's New York Sไales is presented in partnership with Celine.
