MODIGLIANI REINVENTS THE NUDE

Discover Nu couché (sur le côté gauche), Amedeo Modiglianis greatest painting from his legendary series of nudes. Upon their debut in 1917, these striking and sensual images stopped traffic and prompted the police to close the show. Today the series is recognized as one of the seminal achievements in Modern painting, giving new life to what is perhaps the most classic art majority of the reclining nudes are exhibited in Museums, such as the Guggenheim or MoMA, and Nu couché (sur le côté gauche) was most recently featured as the star of Tate Moderns Modigliani Retrospective. Nu couché has the highest estimate ever placed on a work of art at auction and will be the centerpiece of Sothebys Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale on 14 May in New York.
