Christie’s France est heureuse de présenter la vente de la collection Antoine et Simone Veil.
Mariés pendant 67 ans et réunis pour l’éternité au Panthéon, Simone et Antoine Veil ont constitué une collection qui reflète les traits de caractère qui les ont animés : rigueur, humanisme et générosité. En témoigne la rigueur des lignes qui se dégage des œuvres de Diego Giacometti, l’humanisme et la générosité dans les œuvres sur papier de Roger Bissière, Serge Charchoune, Maurice Estève, Simon Hantaï, Henri Michaux, Geer van Velde, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Tom Wesselmann, ou Ossip Zadkine, et les toiles de Zao Wou-Ki, Gilles Aillaud, ou Charles Lapicque, entre autres.
