Sotheby's Design Auctions 2024

Sotheby's, the renowned auction house, is known for its high-caliber auctions - including art and design. Two remarkable design auctions will also take place in 2024, one in Paris on May 28, 2024 and the other in New York on June 5, 2024. The catalog and the estimate prices given show once again how coveted design classics are and how their value has increased enormously over the years. TAGWERC gives an outlook on the Sotheby's design auctions.

Paris in May

The auction in Paris will take place at the Sotheby's branch at 76 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. This auction offers decorative art objects and design from the Arts and Crafts movement to Art Nouveau and Art Deco to post-war works and, of course, contemporary design. The international design auctions include works by Gerrit Rietveld, William Morris, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Emile Gallé, Tiffany Studios, Greene & Greene, Frank Lloyd Wright, Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand and Ron Arad, among many others.

New York in June

The auction in New York will be held at the Sotheby's branch at 1334 York Avenue. Similar to the auction in Paris, this auction also offers an impressive selection of design pieces. The New York auction presented a series of auctions showcasing masterpieces from over a century of artistic production. This includes the major artistic movements of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, from the innovations of the Impressionists to the groundbreaking works of young and emerging contemporary artists.

Artifacts of design history

Both auctions are once again a testament to the continued importance and influence of design in the art world and society, offering collectors the opportunity to acquire pieces of historical significance and exceptional quality. These Sotherby's auctions celebrate exceptional works of art while giving connoisseurs the opportunity to soon own an artifact of design history. Sotheby's regularly holds design auctions in Paris, New York and London. Design enthusiasts can find new, licensed design classics at TAGWERC.
