Opening Christie’s 20th/21st Century Art week during Art Basel Paris, the upcoming sale of Moderne(s), une collection particulière européenne shines a light on the avant-garde movements that transformed art in the early 20th century.
François Curiel, Chairman of Christie’s Europe, reflects on this exceptional sale, which comprises around 40 works from a distinguished European collection and features remarkable compositions by Paul Signac, René Magritte and Max Ernst — artists whose daring visions redefined modern creativity.
From Signac’s luminous ‘La Passerelle Debilly’ (1903) to Magritte’s poetic ‘Le Ciel passe dans l’air’ (1927) and Ernst’s groundbreaking ‘Fruit d’une longue expérience’ (1919), these highlights trace a story of innovation, friendship and artistic freedom.
