Christies Arts décoratifs du XXème siècle 20th Century Decorative Arts
Sale 3589 Paris
20 May 2014
The Bordeaux School will be a highlight of the sale with 12 artworks by Jean Dupas and Raphaël Delorme from a private French collection. Blending academic references with Cubist characteristics, their strange and sophisticated style is in harmony with the refined luxury of the Roaring Twenties . Two sculptures from the estate of Georges Jouve will also be presented including a couple in glazed terracotta made of purely abstract forms – a unique piece that has always remained with the family. A coffee table by Diego Giacometti will also be presented: it was given by the artist to his friend the American writer and journalist Robert Wernick who published an article celebrating him as an independent artist from Alberto in 1974 in the International Herald
