NEW YORK, NY -- Doyle’s auction of Impressionist & Modern Art on May 17, 2023 drew spirited bidding from collectors around the globe. Offered together with Post-War & Contemporary Art, the sale total topped $4 million and set several auction records.

Showcased were important European, American and Asian paintings, drawings and sculpture spanning Academic and Barbizon art through Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to German Expressionism and early Modernism.

Frantisek Kupka – Sold for $756,000
Highlighting the auction was a still life by Czech artist Frantisek Kupka that soared past its estimate to achieve a stunning $756,000. The radiant still life entitled Compotier aux Pommes was painted by Kupka prior to his break from representational art around 1909 and was included in a Parisian exhibition in 1921.

The sale also saw exceptional results for a 1927 still life by Moise Kisling, a group of still lifes by Le Pho, and works by Carroll Cloar and Vu Cao Dam, among others.
