Sotheby's have announced two large online sales in collaboration with 39 top-tier international art dealers. The Dealer's Eye: London and The Dealer's Eye: New York will feature Old Master and nineteenth century paintings and drawings by the likes of Van Dyck, Bassano, Gainsborough, Flinck (pictured) and Vigée Le Brun.
Bidding will open in a mere 6 days time (18 June) and will run until 25 June 2020.
Update - Here is the official press release explaining the initiative.
Otto Naumann, Client Development Director for Sotheby's Old Master Division is quoted as saying:
Before I joined Sotheby’s in 2018, I spent more than thirty years as an Old Masters dealer, traveling across the world to bring wonderful works of art to interested buyers, many times at major art fairs such as Tefaf Maastricht, Frieze Masters, and Masterpiece London. With The Dealer’s Eye, we’ve created our own version of an art fair, where dealers can continue to promote the works that make their individual galleries so unique. It gives me great pleasure to be able to support our gallery peers with this online sales initiative, as well as offer our clients this opportunity to acquire works specially curated by some of the most internationally-renowned Old Master galleries.
