Iconoplastic: 100 Years of De Stijl
Sotheby鈥檚 S|2 is thrilled to present Iconoplastic: 100 Years of De Stijl, a major selling and loan exhibition in celebration of the centennial of De Stijl, the pioneering avant-garde movement founded by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg in Leiden in 1917. Featuring emblematic works ranging in date from 1917 to today Iconoplastic will focus on those artists apart from Mondrian who were integral to the development of the style, and then trace the diaspora of De Stijl through the 20th century from Europe to the United States, Latin America, and the Contemporary abstract art which remains informed by this movement. As a universal style, Neo-Plasticism applied to painting, sculpture, architecture and even music, and its tenants of balance and simplicity continue to inspire artists and designers today. This fall in New York, Sotheby鈥檚 will bring together over fifty world-class examples by 33 artists, both famed and obscure, and is the only such show in the United States.
