The artworks sourced from three personal collections range from Warhol to Monet. The collectors spent their lives gathering some of the most important artists of all time, and now you can get your hands on cubism classics, pop art pieces, impressionist wonders and more.
Pablo Picasso's "Notre Dame," Gemmail
Picasso’s “Le Berger” is one highlight on the bidding block; a watercolor representative of his early works. Two more Picasso pieces in his rare technique known as “Les Gemmaux” are made from colored glass, one of which depicts his Cubist take on Paris’ Notre Dame.
“Ascot,” from the mind of Raoul Dufy, and “Kermesse,” from Kees Van Dongen, are also on the table.
Willem de Kooning's Oil on newspaper
Jazz Musician Gerry Mulligan housed some of the pieces up for grabs. His collection held an iconic painting by Williem De Kooning, painted on New York Times newsprint dated just a couple of days after former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
Of course, we have to mention the one and only Claude Monet who is also featured in the auction. Fans of the icon’s work can place their bids on a series of charcoal sketches.
Renoir's "Danseuse au tamourin," bronze
Works by Chagall, Degas, Renoir, Utrillo, Calder and Miro are also up for grabs.
The auction comes to life online with no minimum reserve. Mark your calendar for Saturday, Nov. 12, and visit guernseys.com, liveauctioneers.com or invaluable.com to take part in the live bidding.
