Watch the complete Modern Evening Auction, presented by CELINE, at Sotheby’s — a $304 million night that became the house’s highest total for a various-owner Modern sale since 2022, helping drive Marquee Week to an extraordinary $840 million. 

Leading the sale was Matisse’s legendary La Chaise lorraine from the Barbier-Mueller Collection, unseen on the market for nearly half a century, which soared to $48.4 million after more than ten minutes of bidding — becoming the second-highest price ever achieved for a painting by the artist at auction. Watch the defining moments, record-setting battles, and global bidding drama unfold live from Sotheby’s New York.
