Joseph Yaeger makes his auction debut in the Evening Sale with Sphinx without a secret, illuminating his cinematic and boundary-pushing compositions. Closely cropped and working from a heavily gessoed ground, the work embraces ambiguity and illegibility, evoking conflicting sensations in the viewer. US-born, Yaeger lives and works in London, where he graduated from his MA at the Royal College of Art in 2019. Further cutting-edge highlights include works by Michaela Yearwood-Dan, Francesca Mollett, and Jenna Gribbon.

Further Day Sale highlights include works by Daniel Richter, Lorna Simpson, Damien Hirst, KAWS and works by Marcel Broodthaers from the Herbig Collection.
