Never-auctioned Monet 'Water Lilies' painting to lead auction in Hong Kong

A never-before-auctioned painting from French Impressionist painter Claude Monet's 'Water Lilies' series is expected to lead and break records at an auction in Hong Kong next week, Christie’s said on Thursday, September 19.

The painting, titled “Nympheas (1897–99)”, painted 125 years ago, is estimated to fetch between $25 million and $35 million. It remained within Monet’s family for decades after his death in 1926 and then ended up in a private collection before being consigned to Christie’s.

Vincent van Gogh’s “Les Canots Amarres (Moored Boats)”, expected to fetch between $30 million and $50 million, will hit the auction block for the first time in three decades. This piece will be on the block alongside the Monet. The auction, scheduled for the evening of September 26.
