Rare Magritte Painting Set to Break Records at New York Auction

A rare artwork from René Magritte’s iconic “L’empire des lumières” series is projected to exceed $95 million at Christie’s New York this fall. If the estimate holds, it will shatter the current auction record for the Surrealist master and mark a significant success for the auction house amid a backdrop of declining sales across the industry.

Created in 1954, “L’empire des lumières” is one of 27 works where Magritte delves into the interplay of light, depicting a bright sky above a shadowy street scene.
