About the event
Event Overview
From July 8 at 12:00 PM EDT to July 22 at 12:00 PM EDT, Christie’s presents M.C. Escher: The Art of Infinity, a landmark online auction showcasing the most extensive collection of Escher's works on paper to surface in decades. Hosted in New York, this sale offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire not only iconic prints—such as Bond of Union, Day and Night, and Other World—but also deeply personal drawings, preparatory studies, and a self-portrait of the artist himself.
What to Expect
This curated collection, featuring selections from the Robert Owen Lehman Foundation, charts Escher’s journey from intricate studies of Italian landscapes to his mesmerizing explorations of geometry, perception, and infinity. Beyond the visual genius, this auction also benefits a noble cause: proceeds support the Foundation’s mission to advance the appreciation of classical music.
