From the revolutionary Impressionists to the cutting-edge artists of today, the 20th and 21st Century auctions trace the evolution of art across more than a century. This May, masterpieces by Jackson Pollock, Constantin Brancusi, Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter and more lead the sale series. Many of the top works hail from distinguished collections, including those of S.I. Newhouse, Agnes Gund, Marian Goodman, Lorinda Payson de Roulet and Henry S. McNeil, Jr.

Join us to view the exhibition beginning 9 May at our iconic Rockefeller Center galleries. All exhibitions are open to the public and free of charge.
