Join us from the London sale room to watch the Masterpieces from the Lewis Collection auction. Having taken place on 24 June, the auction presented an extraordinary group of museum-calibre works by some of the most influential figures in modern art. Spanning the late 19th and 20th centuries, the collection brought together exceptional paintings by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Amedeo Modigliani, Gustave Caillebotte, Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Distinguished by its depth, quality and art-historical significance, the Lewis Collection traces more than 150 years of innovation in figurative painting, capturing the radical vision and enduring legacy of artists who transformed the course of modern art. Featuring some of the most important works by these masters to remain in private hands, the sale offered collectors and institutions a rare opportunity to acquire paintings of exceptional rarity, provenance and significance.
