Property from the Collection of Denys Sutton Denys Sutton (d. 1991), long-reigning editor of Apollo, displayed a wide range of knowledge and many interests as exemplified by his writings on generations of collectors, museums and artists in his curatorial role in mounting various gallery exhibitions, including the seminal France in the Eighteenth Century exhibition held to great acclaim at the Royal Academy in 1968. He and his wife assembled a magnificent collection at their home in London and at Westwood Manor in Wiltshire (which was leased from the National Trust). This spring, Christie's was entrusted with the sale of exemplary works from his Old Master Paintings collection, which sold in January (and included a passionate depiction of the Penitent Mary Magdalen by Filippino Lippi), as well as British works by Cozens, Sickert, Roger Fry and Duncan Grant among others to be sold in London in June; and a Kokoschka to be sold in May.
