Da Sotheby’s Londra l’asta da record della Lewis Collection. Degas, Modigliani e tutte le altre opere che hanno fatto scandalo

Sotheby's London will auction the Lewis Collection, a group of 48 artworks valued at over £200 million, on June 24-25, 2026. Assembled over decades by collector Joe Lewis and his daughter Vivienne Lewis, the collection features works by Modigliani, Degas, Picasso, Magritte, Klimt, Schiele, and Bacon, among others. The sale is led by Modigliani's 'Nu assis au collier' (1917-18), estimated at over £45 million, and includes Degas's 'Petite danseuse de quatorze ans' (estimated £18-25 million) and seven Picassos. The collection will be publicly exhibited at Sotheby's London from June 10-23 before the auction.
