Alexej von Jawlensky, Abstrakter Kopf: Klarheit.
Estimate: £500,000–700,000.

Jawlensky's use of anonymous heads to express the power of colour and line reflects his belief that: "human faces are for me only suggestions to see something else in them – the life of colour, seized with a lover’s passion."

August Macke, Begrüssung (Greeting). Estimate: £400,000–600,000.

Begrüssung belongs to a group of watercolours and oils Macke created in 1913, depicting figures standing or strolling in the park, and reflects a major theme in Macke’s art – city-dwellers in green spaces, bringing the natural world into an urban environment. In 1913 Macke wrote: “The most important thing for me is the direct observation of nature in its light-filled existence”, and the present watercolour is wonderful example of this principle.

Jacques Lipchitz, Arlequin à l'accordéon.
Estimate: £500,000–700,000.

After arriving in Paris from his native Lithuania in 1909, Jacques Lipchitz became the leading Cubist sculptor, after surrounding himself with key figures of the movement, such as Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris. Belonging to a series of works depicting musicians and varying instruments, the present work is particularly notable for its accordion: the formal similarities between an accordion that is being played and that of the prominent Cubist trope of an open fan are immediately evident.

Jean-Michael Basquiat, Untitled, 1982.
Estimate £1,500,000–2,000,000.

Searing in its electric immediacy, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled is masterful example of this artist’s instinctive draughtsmanship that is deeply imbued with a sense of self-portraiture. The present work was created during a year of unprecedented success for the twenty-two year old prodigy: in 1982 Basquiat had his first solo exhibitions with Larry Gagosian in Los Angeles, Bruno Bischofberger in Zurich, and other galleries in New York and Rotterdam.

Andy Warhol, Marilyn (Reversal), 1979-86.
Estimate £1,200,000–1,800,000.

In Marilyn (Reversal), the viewer confronts an uncanny, prismatic and postmodern representation of the most iconic image in Andy Warhol’s visual lexicon. Conceived as a re-reading of his best-known Pop paintings at the suggestion of his dealer Bruno Bischofberger, the Reversal series of 1979 to 1986 joins Warhol’s 1980 memoir POPism: The Warhol Sixties and the Andy Warhol’s TV series as part of the artist’s unprecedentedly reflexive and experimental later period.
