NEW YORK, NY.- Sotheby's announces the second-annual Contemporary Living auction, to be held in New York on 28 July 2016. Consisting of 250 objects from Prints, Photographs and Design, this sale sparks a dialogue between a diverse group of works from these complementary disciplines. The sale features pieces by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Thomas Struth, Robert Mapplethorpe, Harry Bertoia and George Nakashima, with an average price point under $10,000 – making this an attractive opportunity for both new and established collectors. The exhibition will be on view to the public from 23 through 27 July in Sotheby’s York Avenue galleries.
This season’s catalogue features 11 curated vignettes by interior designer Fernando Santangelo. Santangelo’s unique aesthetic, wherein he seeks to integrate artwork and furnishings from the past into contemporary environments, can be seen throughout the catalogue. His thoughtful approach to color, placement and proportion explores the way in which inanimate objects can invigorate and enrich our lives.
