Modern Art

Nothing has changed or challenged the art world more than the rise of Modern Art. The Modern Art movement brought forth many artists looking to go their own way and question the main stream. The Modern era was one that saw a paradigm shift. From the early stirrings of this new movement in the late 19th century came forth a glittering kaleidoscope of possibilities. Exploring the countless facets of the avant garde would be the work of a lifetime! Lempertz have been accompanying these artistic upheavals for many years. Under our roof, interested art fans can buy and sell Modern Art, building on the expertise we have developed in over a century of experience curating art auctions.

Record Results for Modern Art

Modern Art is a subject that moves both people and the market. Modern Art achieves staggering record prices again and again, making headlines the world over. Pablo Picasso is one of the top record-holders among Modern artists: Numerous works by the Spanish painter have graced the lists of the most expensive paintings ever sold. Lempertz auction house has also achieved many record prices for works in their Modern Art auctions. In Spring 2019 Max Liebermann's monumental work Judengasse in Amsterdam changed hands for over one million euros, and we have also achieved prices exceeding the million euro mark for works by Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Kurt Schwitters in our Modern Art Auctions.
