Artelligence Podcast

In this London 2022 Winter auction preview, we speak to Helen Newman at Sotheby's, who will tell us about their $60 million Magritte, half a dozen Monets, a Picasso and a Van Gogh. Katharine Arnold at Christie's will discuss their late Francis Bacon triptych, a portrait by Lucian Freud, as well as a Bridget Riley work held by the same family for 57 years. Giovanna Bertazzoni tells us about Christie's restituted Franz Marc painting and their surrealist Picasso. Finally, Cheyenne Westphal goes through the long list of breakout artists—like Lauren Quin, Doron Langberg, Jadé Fadojutimi, and Emily Mae Smith—at Phillips and others whose markets continue to roll on. But she also takes a moment to discuss a rare, unseen work of Sigmar Polke coming from the well-known collection of Emily and Jerry Spiegel.
