【Book Description】

Icons is a landmark volume centered on the legendary global auction house Sotheby’s, tracing pivotal moments in art market history through 100 of the most iconic objects ever sold under its name. More than a catalogue of auction highlights, this book unfolds as a rich narrative journey across art, design, history, and culture, guiding readers through the full trajectory of each work before and after it entered the auction room.

The works featured span vast periods of time and a wide range of media—from a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil to Maurizio Cattelan’s banana that sparked worldwide debate; from historically significant documents with national symbolism to contemporary artworks that electrified the auction floor. Together, they reveal the key masterpieces Sotheby’s has handled across different eras. Many of these objects come from some of the most prestigious private and public collections in the world, making this book a rare behind-the-scenes record of the art market.

Each selected work is presented with a large-format image accompanied by in-depth commentary written by Sotheby’s specialists, detailing its background, provenance, and significance at auction. Selected entries also include contextual photographs of the works in their original settings or on the auction floor, alongside quotes from curators, art critics, and Sotheby’s experts. From rediscovered masterpieces and record-breaking sales to “white glove” auctions with every lot sold, each object carries a compelling story of its own.

Icons is published to coincide with Sotheby’s return to the Breuer Building, a landmark of the New York art scene that has previously housed the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Frick Collection. Through the masterpieces it has had the privilege to steward, the book highlights Sotheby’s enduring legacy and cultural impact within the global art market.

This volume is ideal for readers interested in art, design, collecting, and cultural history. Beyond presenting the intrinsic value of these objects, it reveals how art circulates and transforms through the intersections of the market, history, and human desire—making Icons a visually striking and intellectually rich collector’s book.
