Sotheby's presents the extraordinary collection of Françoise Mayer and Marc Sohier. The works form an ensemble of rare coherence, giving pride of place to abstraction, research into abstraction, spatialism and kinetic art. Assembled largely in the 1960s and early 1970s, this collection bears witness to the couple's discerning eye, recognizing artists who have since become major figures in contemporary art today, including Lucio Fontana, Jesús-Rafael Soto, Alexander Calder, Pol Bury and others.
