Modern & Contemporary
Art and Editions

The Modern & Contemporary Art & Editions department covers work from 1900 to the present day, with a particularly strong focus on Modern British, Pop and Contemporary Art and Editions. Alexander Hayter, comes to Forum Auctions with over 20 years of experience in the field and is on hand daily to provide valuations and expert advice.

Based in London, we hold frequent Editions and Works on Paper auctions with sales every 1-2 months, alongside our annual The British Sale (held in collaboration with our sister auction house Dreweatts). 

The team has brought a number of important works on paper to auction, such as David Hockney’s ‘Waiter, Alexandria’, which sold for £148,000 in March 2022. Upcoming in December 2023, a newly discovered Henry Moore watercolour, ‘Four Studies for Seated Mother and Child’, will be offered in The British Sale (14 December).

Forum Auctions is a market leader for Prints and Editions, and in 2023 auction highlights have included Andy Warhol’s ‘Absolut Vodka’ (£35,200), Roy Lichtenstein’s ‘Sweet Dreams Baby!’ (£80,700) and Marc Chagall’s ‘Enlèvement de Chloé, from Daphnis et Chloé’ (£33,300).
