About the SessionSpanning 4 centuries of global art history, The International Sale, presents 127 exceptional lots by artists from 27 countries across five continents. The auction highlights masterworks ranging from 17th century European paintings to post-2000 editions by contemporary artist's such as Mr Brainwash (lot 51), Jim Dine (lots 83-86), Isaac Julien (lot 108), Jeff Koons (45), and Lucas Samaras (lot 107 and 110). The sale is anchored by important pieces from Georg Baselitz, Erik Laubscher, Shirin Neshat, and a newly repatriated 1935 portrait by Irma Stern.
The auction's diversity is driven by rare museum-quality highlights, led by Irma Stern's Two Women (lot 31), which returns to South Africa after decades in a Berlin private collection. It is joined by Erik Laubscher's rare recto-verso painting Young Family / Construction (lot 48), an Iranian-American artist Shirin Neshat photographic portrait linked to her award-winning Turbulent installation (lot 66), and a uniquely hand-coloured linocut by German master Georg Baselitz titled Das Pferd, Im Wald und auf der Heide Series (The Horse, in the Forest and on the Heath Series) (lot 72).

American minimalist artist Robert Mangold (born in North Tonawanda, New York) became a central figure in postwar abstraction after completing his Master of Fine Art at Yale University, where his practice grew rooted in geometry, spatial awareness, and asymmetry. Over the decades, his analytical approach evolved from an industrial-inspired palette to emotionally evocative hues like warm ochres and deep oranges, all unified by strict proportion, balance, and interconnected lines and planes of colour. Mangold long emphasised that his work should present themselves as an inseparable, instantaneous unit, viewing this unique flatness as its greatest strength.
Living and working in Washingtonville, New York, Mangold has a prolific international exhibition record, including major solo shows at the Guggenheim Museum, New York (1971), Kunsthalle Basel (1977), and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1977), alongside multiple appearances in Documenta, Kassel (1972, 1977, 1982), the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial (1979, 1983, 1985), the Venice Biennale (1993), the Musée D’Orsay, Paris (2006) and the Kemper Museum of Art, Kansas City (2016-17). His legacy is thoroughly documented through a multi-part catalogue raisonné, a Parasol Press print collection, and a 2000 Phaidon Press monograph.
