In the upcoming May 18 sale in New York, Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction will be led by Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled from 1982, a monumental masterpiece that has been virtually unseen since it last appeared on the market in May 1984.
On May 16, Sotheby's New York Evening Sale of Impressionist & Modern Art will be led by Egon Schiele’s first masterpiece: Danaë, painted in 1909 when the artist was 19 years old.
Daring in its technique, the work offers the earliest expression of Schiele's extraordinary vision. Danaë is distinguished further as the artist’s first major oil painting of a female nude, heralding the revolutionary aesthetic his art would develop over the next decade, until his untimely death at the age of 28.
Sotheby’s Hong Kong Gallery will stage a selling exhibition of Chinese contemporary artist Cai Xiaosong from May 5-19.
Entitled, Perception: Cai Xiaosong, the show features 29 works and include the artist’s new ink landscape painting series entitled Song – Perception which is said to mark a decisive transition in his art.

After 40 years of painting, Tang’s rare solo show in Kuala Lumpur encapsulates all that he has learnt and more.
