Evening & Day Editions Auction | 19-20 SEPTEMBER 2024 | LONDON
The Evening & Day Editions auction features an exceptional selection of works by Andy Warhol, including unique colour trial proofs such as Black Rhinoceros from his Endangered Species series and Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro Botticelli, Birth of Venus, 1482). Also highlighted is Warhol's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom from his iconic Reigning Queens series. In the 1980s, Warhol shifted his focus from contemporary celebrities to historical icons, exploring themes of fame through different lenses. Warhol's Details of Renaissance Paintings series, reimagines revered masterpieces such as Sandro Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, amplifying their status through his Pop Art lens. In 1985, Warhol’s Reigning Queens series, including Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, captured the celebrity of royalty, transforming official portraits into vibrant images that highlight his enduring fascination with fame and social hierarchy. Further Warhol sale highlights include additional unique trial proofs Mobil, from Ads, and Alexander the Great (Green).

The auction encompasses a wide range of works, from mid-20th century prints and ceramics by Pablo Picasso, including a complete set of Picasso’s Portraits Imaginaires and La Femme à la Fenêtre, and a collection of Henry Moore maquettes and prints from an American estate, to Julie Mehretu’s Corner of Lake and Minnehaha (Blue), completed in 2022. Born in Ethiopia and immigrating to the U.S. during the civil war in 1977, Mehretu’s work consistently reflects current events and historical narratives. In Corner of Lake and Minnehaha (Blue), the artist draws from a photograph of the Minneapolis protests on 28 May 2020, following the murder of George Floyd. Using screenprint and lithography, Mehretu explores the intersection of architecture and politics, viewing architectural forms as metaphors for power. The work’s disrupted lines, arcs, and bursts of colour create depth and complexity, blending Abstract Expressionism with Eastern calligraphy to craft a dynamic, fragmented composition that probes the psycho-geographic and historical layers of her identity.
