None of the post-war artistic developments represented in the Steinberg Collection could have been possible without the foundations set in place during the preceding half century, and the collection provides a privileged panorama of cross-generational correspondence. Cornerstone exemplars of the Modernist discourse are represented in works by such titans as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Alberto Giacometti, Jean Arp, Georges Braque, and Fernand Léger, which punctuate the evolution of figurative art advanced by the École de Paris in the first few decades of the 20th century.

IMPORTANT CHINESE ART

September 2019

A compelling corollary to the Color Field paintings at the heart of the Steinberg Collection, their exceptional group of Chinese monochrome ceramics, primarily hailing from the Qing Dynasty, will be offered in our Important Chinese Art auction during the Asia Week sales series this September. Whether formed by nature or produced by man, the subtle tonalities of monochromatic art have long been celebrated within traditional Chinese aesthetics and have since inspired generations of international artists, collectors and aesthetes. The shared aesthetic of clean lines and variations of color, with a particular focus on the purity of color and silhouette, makes this group an integral part of the Steinbergs’ intellectual pursuits.
