Christie’s is proud to unveil Modern Visionaries: The Vanthournout Collection as a centrepiece of our 20th and 21st Century Art auctions – live for browsing from 18 February.

Assembled over six decades by Roger and Josette Vanthournout, this remarkable collection spans nearly 150 years of artistic innovation, from Surrealism and Dadaism to post-war avant-garde. Highlights include René Magritte, Henry Moore, Lucio Fontana and Yayoi Kusama.

After a market-leading October season, our specialists are also accepting consignments for our 20th and 21st Century Art auctions in March, including The Art of the Surreal. Contact us for a complimentary, confidential valuation.
