L’Empire des Lumières by René Magritte
Bidding commences on 2 March through Sotheby’s in London
Due to make its long-awaited market debut at Sotheby’s Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction in London, this 1961 work by René Magritte will be offered with an estimate in excess of US$60 million. It is considered one of the most desirable works of modern art still remaining in private hands, having been painted for the daughter of Magritte’s patron – the Belgian surrealist collector Pierre Crowet –.
