LONDON
.-Bonhams is to hold the first-ever sale by an international auction house dedicated exclusively to a celebration of the male form in art. It will span centuries and genres, from Antiquities and Old Master Painting to Sculpture and Decorative Arts, from Contemporary Art to Photography. The sale will take place at Bonhams New Bond Street saleroom in London on Wednesday 16 June.
The sale is being curated by Bonhams Greek Art Specialist Anastasia Orfanidou and Bonhams Head of Books and Manuscripts, Matthew Haley, who said: This exciting new concept challenges a market that has traditionally been centered around the western concept of the male gaze. It will explore how women look at men and how men look at other men, introducing a fresh context and platform that will spark new discussions on an historically unspoken market.
