The London SalesvideoExecuted in 1997, Ib Reading is an exquisite test.mes nt to the superlative power of Lucian Freud’s preoccupation with the single-figure portrait that sits at the very heart of his dynamic oeuvre that spanned over seven decades. Ib Reading is one of several portraits Freud painted of Isobel at different ages throughout his career. These portraits of Isobel or “Ib,” are part of a wider cycle of portraits Freud painted of his children, made after several years of paternal absence and a way for the artist to better know his offspring.
The London SalesvideoIn this Replica Shoes 's Spotlight video, Head of Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale Holly Braine selects two exceptional works from the Impressionist and Modern Art category of the Modern and Contemporary Day Auction. The first is Paysage à Pointose, temps gris by Impressionist heavyweight Camille Pissarro from 1875, which demonstrates an aesthetic that would dominate the avant-garde over the next decade. The second work is a 1926 oil by Kandinsky entitled Schluss (Conclusion), which comes during the period when Kandinsky's preoccupation with geometric abstraction was at its height. Both of them encapsulate the extraordinary breadth of artistic achievement from the Impressionist and Modern Art category.
The London SalesvideoPainted during a transformative moment in Kandinsky’s career, Murnau mit Kirche II (1910) encapsulates the very beginnings of the revolutionary abstract language that would underpin the rest of Kandinsky’s career – and set the next generation of artists on a new path. In the near-square format favored by avant-garde contemporaries from Monet to Klimt, the work has a rich palette of contrasting hues and a remarkable history.

The London SalesvideoThe Nymphs Have Departed is an exquisite example of Cecily Brown’s combination of the figural and the abstract, as well as her celebration of the possibilities of oil paint in the depiction of human flesh. Part of a cycle of paintings that draw upon mythological imagery within the canon of art history, the present work’s composition and title allude to one of the most mythological stories in the Western art historical canon: Diana, the Roman goddess of virginity, the hunt, and the moon, and her devoted nymphs. Painted across the centuries by artists such as Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Vermeer, Diana and her nymphs are often portrayed nude or scantily dressed. Yet she simultaneously transcends the conventional, straight-forward narrative via a rich and vibrant fracturing of the figure and the landscape.

Based on a 2011 viral tabloid news story about police setting up hidden cameras focused upon a park bench which was infamous for public sex, the work goes beyond the sensational to explore the intersection of societal and sexual behaviors against a backdrop of cultural conservatism.
