Masterpieces by some of the biggest names in modern art – from Gustav Klimt and Lucian Freud to Henri Matisse and Francis Bacon – will be auctioned by Sotheby’s in June. The works have been consigned by Joe Lewis and his daughter, Vivienne, whose family owns Tottenham Hotspur , and are expected to fetch a total of more than £150m. Among the highlights in the collection is Klimt’s captivating 1902 portrait Bildnis Gertrud Loew – a member of fin-de-siècle Viennese society born Gertha Felsöványi), which was last auctioned by Sotheby’s over a decade ago. The subject was one of Klimt’s patrons, from whom the painting was stolen by the Nazis when they arrived in Vienna. Also for sale is Modigliani’s Homme à la pipe (Le notaire de Nice), which has not been seen in public for almost half a century and is estimated to fetch between £12-18m. There is also a rare double self-portrait by Bacon from 1977, estimated at £8-12m, and Schiele’s “audacious” early masterpiece Danaë, completed when he was just 19 years old.…
