July Fine Art Auction: Modern & Contemporary Highlights
July Fine Art Auction – A Global Journey Through Artistic Greatness
Enter the world of the July Fine Art Auction, where every piece is a doorway to the 20th century. This incredible collection spans the globe and the movements, a rare chance to see the cultural and spiritual visions that defined modern art in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Among the standouts are Himalayan mysticism by Nicolai Roerich, sun-kissed elegance by Konstantin Gorbatov, and the dreamlike figuration of Le Pho alongside the lyrical abstraction of Helen Khal. You’ll find the bold modernism of Ben Enwonwu, the quiet introspection of Ram Kumar’s post-independence India, and the philosophical water drop paintings of Tschang-Yeul Kim. From Russian Impressionism to Black American Expressionism through Beauford Delaney, this catalog tells the story of visionaries who shaped the visual language of the 20th century.
Each piece in this selection is more than beautiful – it’s a conversation starter, a reflection prompt and a key to understanding identity, exile, resilience and transcendence. Whether you’re drawn by history or by beauty, this is your chance to buy museum quality works by some of the most important artists of the last 100 years.
Join us on July 26, 2025 and let this incredible collection inspire, provoke and raise your sense of what’s possible.
