On 2 May, a major work by the artist Tamara de Lempicka, thought to be lost since the 1920s and only recently brought to light, will be offered in Sotheby's sale of Impressionist & Modern Art in New York. Nu adoss I was included in her solo exhibition at Milan's Bottegia di Poesia gallery in 1925, the same year it was painted. Following that exhibition, the painting effectively disappeared from view until Sotheby's was contacted by the owner late last year. The work will be shown in London, prior to exhibition and sale in New York this spring, and is estimated at £2-3 million.
