Selling Modern, Post-War & Contemporary Art, Design, Craft and Studio Ceramics
MODERN MADE is Lyon & Turnbull’s dedicated platform for exceptional works of art, design, and craft from the 20th and 21st centuries.
From pioneering movements such as Modernism, Mid-Century Modern, and Scandinavian Design, to Post-War British design, Italian Radical and Postmodernism, and the diverse currents of Modern British and Contemporary Art, Modern Made provides a confident and informed stage for important works.
Each object is presented not only for its aesthetic impact, but for the ideas, innovation, and cultural context it represents — whether that be the functional ideals of Modernism, the optimism of post-war reconstruction, or the experimental spirit of late-20th-century design.
Held twice a year in the Mall Galleries – next door to the legendary Institute of Contemporary Arts, in the heart of London’s art district – the sales offer an opportunity both to sell and acquire works by some of most celebrated and pioneering artists and makers, from household names – such as Picasso, Moore, Hepworth, Chadwick, Rie, Coper, Eames, Aalto, Jensen, Wegner, Ponti, Fornasetti – to overlooked creators whose work is long due reappraisal, as well as up-and-coming stars deserving of the wider international audience an auction brings.
