The Portier family has chosen to entrust the sale of their personal collection of Japanese art to Beaussant Lefèvre, in association with Christie’s. Consisting of 90 lots, this collection reflects the taste of four generations of experts and collectors, major figures of the Asian art market in France.
Eric Beaussant and Pierre-Yves Lefèvre -auctioneers-, Géraldine Lenain -International Director of Asian Arts at Christie’s- and Alice Jossaume -expert in Asian arts- commented: ‘It is a true honour for us to pay tribute to the taste and wisdom of the Portier family, whose expertise has been a reference for the Asian art market for the past four generations. We are glad that this auction will take place at Drouot, where this family of collectors and experts have built this collection. We are exceptionally pleased with this collaboration between Beaussant Lefèvre and Christie’s, which will remain in the books of great Japanese art sales in Paris.’
