Sotheby's Launches London Private Sales Space with Joseph Beuys Exhibition for Frieze Week

Sotheby's will inaugurate a new private sales venue in London on 10 October, coinciding with Frieze week. The inaugural presentation features thirteen works by Joseph Beuys, including twelve drawings and a bronze sculpture created between 1947 and 1966. All pieces originate from a private European collector who acquired them directly from Beuys's early exhibitions at Galerie Alfred Schmela in Düsseldorf. The drawings are priced from £70,000 to £200,000. Located at the rear of Sotheby's Bond Street premises, the exhibition will run for five weeks. This initiative represents a strategic expansion of Sotheby's private sales operations during a key moment in the international art calendar.
