London – Phillips de Pury & Company is pleased to announce the highlights of the forthcoming London Photographs sale on Thursday May 19, 2011. The London photographs department, a leader in the European market, will offer a full range of exciting works from diverse genres and movements integral to 20th and 21st century photography.
Sotheby’s Evening sale of Important Russian Art features over 50 paintings from the 1850s to Perestroika. We are thrilled to present an exceptional group of seven works by Vasily Vereschagin, one of Russias most daring and ambitious artists of the period, including rare canvases from his Balkan and Indian series of museum quality, such as Taj Mahal at Evening and Shipka Pass. A highlight of the sale is Repin’s intimate portrait of his young wife, Vera – an exciting rediscovery and one of the most important of his Russian portraits ever to be offered at auction. Ivan Aivazovsky’s spectacular Ukrainian pastoral scene and Valerian Kamenev’s The Harvest show native landscape painting at its very best, while Bogoliubovs serene Venetian view is a superb example of 19th century Russian art abroad.
