Christie’s Evening Sale of Post-War and Contemporary Art November 13

David Hockney, Sur la Terrasse, 1971 (Estimate: $25-45 million). Now on view to the public at Christie’s Los Angeles for the first time since 1973. © Christie's Images Ltd 2019. On November 13, Christie’s will offer David Hockney’s Sur la Terrasse, 1971 ($25-45 million) as a central highlight of its Evening Sale of Post-War and Contemporary Art. A glowing sun-drenched vision rendered on a spectacular life-sized scale, Sur la Terrasse stands among David Hockney’s most poignant works. Begun in March 1971, and completed that summer, it was painted during the decline of his relationship with Peter Schlesinger: his first love and greatest muse. This turn of events became a milestone in the artist’s personal life, precipitating an intense period that resulted in heart-wrenching expression in his paintings. The present work has occupied a single private collection for nearly half a century and has never appeared at auction. On October 15, Sur la Terrasse will go on view
