Saleroom Notice
Please note that this lot is designed in the style of Paul Brandt, not Edgar Brandt.
Offered to benefit a new scholarship initiative from Bennington College, this work distils the unique form of abstraction for which the artist would become famous
Ahead of the sale of portraits of four different muses, we focus on the women the artist came to depend on so passionately
