Contemporary and Post-War Art

Categories we cover

• Contemporary and Post-War Art

  Work from 1945 to now — the most actively traded category at auction, and the one where estimates move fastest.

• Modernist Art

  Early- and mid-twentieth-century painting and sculpture, where condition and exhibition history carry unusual weight.

• Impressionist Art

  Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works, a market that rewards impeccable provenance above almost everything else.

• Old Master Paintings and Drawings

  Pre-1800 painting and works on paper, where attribution and scholarship determine value more than fashion.

• Photographic Art

  Vintage and contemporary photography, where print date, edition and printer matter as much as the image.

• Street Art and Urban Contemporary

  Banksy and the wider urban contemporary market, where authentication paperwork is often half the value.
