Contemporary Edition

The upcoming sale presented by Christie’s will include 201 lots of contemporary and modern art. Among the top lots of the sale is an oil painting created by Helen Frankenthaler. The piece, titled Guadalupe, was created by staining a solid pigment onto canvas. Frankenthaler’s technique helped shape Abstract Expressionism and post-war art in the mid-20th century.

Another highlight of the sale is an untitled painting by Sam Francis, which incorporates elements from Abstract Expressionism, Color Field painting, and Impressionism. The painting shows the artist’s interpretation of color and light. Also among the notable lots is a work titled Fallen Easel by John Baldessari. A Los Angeles-based artist, Baldessari was known for his photography and conceptual work. To view the complete collection and register to bid online, visit Christie’s.
