The Art Moderne sale will feature works by Marc Chagall, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Francis Picabia, Édouard Manet, Paul Cézanne and Henri Matisse from several prestigious private collections. Gems in the sale include a Fillette au perroquet by Paul Cézanne recently rediscovered at the Musée Granet in Aix en Provence. Painted in 1860, it is one of the very few early paintings that announces the painter's oeuvre. A Portrait d'Ambroise Adam by Édouard Manet is the first to be painted outdoors – a key moment for this artist who, breaking with academic tradition, goes on to establish a new aesthetic based on direct experience and reality.
The sale is led by rare and sought-after works by Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita, Kees van Dongen, Henri Hayden, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Bernard Buffet and many others. The majority of works in this auction come from distinguished private collections, each showcasing a different collecting perspective, but at the same time, an equally refined taste for Impressionist and modern art. Discover all this and more during our exhibition, which will open on 16 October.
