Property from The Collection of Mrs. Sidney F. Brody

<p>The Collection of Mrs. Sidney F. Brody boasts a wealth of master works by the towering figures of the Modernist movement, making it one of the most valuable single-owner collections ever offered at auction. The strength of the collection is exemplified by a trio of works: Pablo Picasso&rsquo;s <em>Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust</em> (estimate upon request), Henri Matisse&rsquo;s <em>Nu au coussin bleu</em> (estimate: $20-30 million), and Alberto Giacometti&rsquo;s <em>Grande t&ecirc;te mince</em> (estimate: $25-35 million). Christie&rsquo;s Conor Jordan, Sharon Kim and Brooke Lampley discuss these masterpieces and preview the collection which comprises a special section of the Impressionist &amp; Modern Art Evening Sale on 4 May 2010, with additional works to be offered in a dedicated single-owner session the following day.
