This September, Christie’s Paris brings an exciting programme of exhibitions, leading up to the opening of our autumn auction season.
Discover the elegance of evening dressing in A Vanity Affair, an exclusive look into the history and art of vanity cases from the 18th century to the 1960s by Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron and more. Alongside this, explore highlights from our upcoming Paris Avant-Garde and Splendors: Masterpieces from Africa, North America and Oceania sales, featuring an exceptional Tsimshian mask.
Elsewhere, delve into the musical mind of Alfred Cortot, the unparalleled Chopin player, conductor and teacher, in the preview of our sale of the pianist’s extensive library. Highlights include Matisse’s portrait of Cortot at the piano. The private collection of Eileen and I.M. Pei will also be on view, with works by Jean Dubuffet, Barnett Newman, Zao Wou-Ki, Henry Moore and other 20th-century artists who inspired the modernist designs of the buildings of this architectural icon.
Join us from 11 September onwards at 9 Avenue Matignon for an extended summer of art, music and luxury.
