SOTHEBY'S CONTEMPORARY ART: MAY 15, 2001 AUCTION GUIDE PART ONE
The Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Part 1 auction held on May 15, 2001, represents a landmark event in the art world, capturing the spirit and energy of the late 20th and early 21st century art movements. This auction was highly anticipated by collectors, curators, and enthusiasts due to its impressive selection of works by some of the most influential contemporary artists.
The auction catalog itself is notable not only for the incredible artworks it features but also for its iconic cover art. The cover embraces the essence of pop culture imagery, reflecting a trend among contemporary artists to blur the lines between high art and popular media. This approach draws inspiration from advertising, comic books, and consumer products, emphasizing bold colors, graphic forms, and recognizable figures that challenge traditional notions of art. 224pgs
Key Highlights of the Auction Guide Include:
Artist Profiles: The catalog provides detailed background information on each artist represented in the sale. These profiles cover the artists’ career milestones, distinctive styles, and key contributions to contemporary art movements such as Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, and Neo-Expressionism.
Artwork Descriptions: Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive description that explores the work’s theme, medium, dimensions, provenance, and historical context. This allows potential buyers to deeply understand the significance and uniqueness of every piece.
High-Quality Images: The catalog features vivid and carefully reproduced images of the artworks, highlighting intricate details and textures. These images serve not only as visual references but also as art pieces in their own right, often designed to attract and engage collectors.
Auction and Bidding Information: The guide outlines practical details on the auction process, including bidding procedures, estimate ranges for each lot, and important terms and conditions. It also provides information about the venue, timing, and registration requirements for participants.
Significance of the 2001 Auction:
This Sotheby’s sale occurred during a dynamic period when contemporary art was gaining unprecedented global attention and market value. Many of the works up for auction in 2001 later became iconic representations of the era, often referenced in academic discussions and museum exhibitions. The catalog thus functions not only as a sales tool but also as a historical document capturing a snapshot of the art world’s evolving landscape.
Contemporary art collectors and historians continue to reference this particular auction guide when researching key works from the turn of the millennium, as it showcases a convergence of emerging talents and established masters that have shaped modern artistic discourse.
CONDITION: Cover plus first few pages have top right corner cut. There are notes jotted throughout the pages by the bidder that went.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
