Three outstanding works of art will headline Grisebach's spring auctions, which will take place in Berlin from 31 May to 3 June. A total of almost 1500 works of art will go under the hammer at a median estimate of 16 million euros.
The Selected Works are led by a Berlin painting by Max Beckmann, which was created in January 1937, shortly before the artist had to emigrate and leave Germany for good (estimate EUR 700,000-1,000,000). The Contemporary Art section can boast a "Mona Lisa (Four Times)" by Andy Warhol, estimated at EUR 500,000-700,000. The iconic painting comes directly from the New York Factory and remained in the possession of one of Warhol's assistants until today.
With Pissarro's summer painting "La Route de Marly, Louveciennes" from 1871, an outstanding work of French Impressionism will be offered in the "19th Century Art" auction (estimate EUR 400,000- 600,000).
Two special portraits of women are also attracting a lot of attention in the auctions: Conrad Felixmüller's "Frau im Wald (Wiesbaden)" from 1918, a fascinating example of the interweaving of man and nature in German Expressionism, and the life-size "Liegende weibliche Rückenakt" by Lovis Corinth from 1887, both estimated at EUR 200,000-300,000.
As always, the auction will be rounded off with catalogues from the "Photography", "ORANGERIE" and "Third Floor" departments - and as a special addition, a separate catalogue will draw attention to the special art form of Picasso ceramics, of which Grisebach has been able to acquire a special collection and offer for sale.
