Minton Pâte-Sur-Pâte Masterworks from a Distinguished Private Collection
21 Oct 2008
Two generations of connoisseurship and discerning acquisitions close to the artistic source have helped to form one of the finest and most representative collections of Mintons pâte-sur-pâte ever to come to the market. Christie’s upcoming sale includes unique dated examples from the years 1872 to 1904, which themselves form a documentary timeline of the golden age of pâte-sur-pâte. Works by the Master, Louis Solon, and the artists he trained in the technique are featured throughout.
