Coinciding with the re-opening of the National Portrait Gallery in London in June, Sotheby’s Modern and Contemporary Evening Auction will open with Face to Face: A Celebration of Portraiture, a tightly curated selection of masterpieces exploring the connections between artist and subject. A genre revered within the grand arc of the Western art historical canon, portraiture has been integral to the way artists tell stories about people, history and culture across the ages. Following this opening sequence, the sale is honoured to present Gustav Klimt’s great masterpiece Dame mit Fächer (Lady with a Fan) as the highlight of the 2023 summer auction season in London. Accompanying this iconic painting are major works by artists of the Modern era including Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Rene Magritte and Claude Monet, as well as post-war masters Barbara Hepworth, Frank Auerbach, and Cy Twombly and giants of the late Twentieth Century Jean-Michel Basquiat, Gerhard Richter and Cindy Sherman.

Chatsworth has always been a centre for creativity, and its collection has evolved to reflect the eclectic tastes and interests of sixteen generations of the Devonshire family. Chatsworth House contains works of art that span 4,000 years, from ancient Roman and Egyptian sculpture, to masterpieces by Rembrandt, Reynolds and Veronese, to works by outstanding modern artists, including Felicity Aylieff, Lucian Freud, David Nash and Edmund de Waal. One of the star exhibits from Portraits from Chatsworth – A Loan Exhibition is ‘Woman in a White Shirt’, a portrait of Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire (1920-2014) commissioned from Lucian Freud, which caused a sensation when first shown.
