Two masterpieces by Pierre #Soulages lead our Post-War & Contemporary Art sale on Thursday 12 March in London.

This year Soulages celebrates his centenary year and is the subject of a retrospective at the Louvre Museum in Paris. A true force in the international art scene, Peinture 128,5 x 128,5 cm, 16 décembre 1959 is thought to be one of Soulages' greatest achievements as it showcases his influences from Abstract Expressionism in New York to travelling with Zao Wou-Ki in Asia in the late 1950s.
