DREAM BIG, an online selling exhibition of monumental sculpture featuring works by contemporary, modern and ancient artists will be offered by Christie’s Private Sales this summer. For the third year running, more than 40 sculptures will be available for purchase including works by Niki de Saint Phalle, Henry Moore, Barry Flanagan, Fernando Botero, Antiquities, Manolo Valdés, and Joan Miró with prices from $250,000.

DREAM BIG contributes to the sustainability strategy outlined by Christie’s as all sculptures are sold online in situ from their current locations and shipped only once to the buyer, rather than being amassed for a group exhibition.  Christie’s is the first major auction house to receive validation from the Science Based Targets initiative for the company’s commitment to reduce its carbon emissions by 50% by 2030.
