About This Auction

The Collection of Antonio Homem Sonnabend offers a rare portrait of one of the most influential family legacies in the post-war art world. As the adoptive son of legendary dealer Ileana Sonnabend, Antonio Homem worked closely alongside her for decades, sharing in Sonnabend Gallery’s commitment to championing the most innovative artists of the twentieth century and carrying forward the vision Ileana established in Paris and New York.
