S otheby’s New York 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Impressionist & Modern A൲rt Evening Sale brought high bids for works by sought-after artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, including 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Claude Monet, 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Gustave Caillebotte, 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Paul Signac and others.

Gustave Caillebotte's seminal work Richard Gallo et son chien Dicꦆk, au Petit Genneviꦺlliers garnered $20,766,000; comp🌠lete𝓀d in 1884, the masterful piece depicts Caillebotte’s beloved friend and most frequently painted figural subject, Richard Gallo, promenading along the Seine with his canine companion, Dick.

Gallo’s graceful figure is in midstride, set against the luminous reflection of sunlight on the river. Beyond, the bright estates stand, contrasting a steely gray sky. Caillebotte gifted the work to Gallo upon its completion, and it remained in his collection until his death, at which time his nephew inherited the work. In recent decades, Richard Gallo et son chien Dick, au Petit Gennevilliers has been on loan to the National Gallery in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Neo-Impressionist Paul Signac's resplendent painting 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:La Corne d'Or (Constantinople) achieved $16,210,000. The work displays Istanbul's active waterfront, set against the city's enchanting skyline. La Corne d'Or (Constantinople) is a testament to Signac's ingenuity; the piece 🌼steps beyond the strict tenets of Divisionis✱m (or the process of separating pigments on canvas) – composed in a rich palette of pink, purple, blue and yellow.

A splendid example of Claude Monet’s oeuvre, the Impressionistic 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Charing Cross Bridge sold for $27,600,000; created in 1903, the artwork is part of the artist’s renowned London series. Steeped in fog and refracted light, the canvas features two trains passing over the railway bridge, billowing thick clouds of steam from the engines. Unde𒊎rneath the bridge, two small boats dot the river, alluding to an i꧒ndustrial hub that lies just out of frame.

Tamara de Lempicka’s Le tunique rose (1927) soared to $13,362,500, besting the work's $8 million high estimate and setting a new world auction record for a work by the artist. Lempicka's auction record was previously set by the sale of La Musicienne (1929), which achieved $9.1 million when it so🌊ld in November 2018.

Completed in the artist’s unique Art Deco style, Le tunique rose captures Rafaëla, one of the artist’s most famed muses and lovers, reclining on a divan, gazing up at the viewer with an air of relaxed confidence. Draped in a swath of bright red fabric, Rafaëla’s sumptuous form and raven-black hair create a dramatic contrast of light and color. Le tunique rose is a rare example of Lem𝕴picka's full-length figu♉res.

168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Alberto Giacometti's bronze sculpture 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Buste d'homme (Diego au blouson) ignited a bidding war in the room, ultimately exceeding the high estimate to reach $14,273,700. Conceived circa 1953, the sculpture is co𒁃nsidered Giacometti's most formally radical and visually engaging work of art. The model for the work was Giacometti's younger brother Diego, who inspired numerous variations on the theme of head and bust sculptures of the 1950s and whose physiognomic similarity to his brother invested these projects with an autobiographical narrative.

Considered one of the 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Auguste Rodin's most accomplished and important sculptures, La Cariatide tombée portant sa pierre (The Fallen Caryatid Carrying her Stone) sold for $7,553,600 this evening. The sculpture was conceived circa 1881-82 and carv🅺ed in 1893-94 fo⛄r its consigner, the collector Berthe Dumon.
