Catalogue Note
Property from an Important Dutch Private Collection
This extraordinary collection, from a private Dutch estate, represents one of the most successfully focused and considered activities of acquisition over the past 30 years.
The works of art that comprise this outstanding collection reflect an absolute commitment to sourcing works of the very highest quality, ultimately resulting in a unique survey of Modern and Impressionist art through the course of the first quarter of the 20th century.
The collection illuminates parallels between artistic trends through an extaordinary period, in particular the differing yet convergent treatments of form in the group of works by Kees van Dongen. What is so obviously apparent is the way in which each painting complements the next. This collection is a carefully considered compilation of artistic movements that works perfectly together. No one picture competes with another, allowing the whole to be read easily and coherently. To examine a group in which Boudin and Van Dongen hang together harmoniously is remarkable and testament to a talented eye.
The collectors had retained valuable close relationships with the most renowned art dealers in the Netherlands, including Kunsthandel M.L. de Boer in Amsterdam and Kunsthandel Borzo in Hertogenbosch. These partnerships garnered many of the most exciting and striking works in this important collection.
Drawing together such prestigious works of art on this eclectic scale has been a formidable accomplishment, and the remarkable consistency of their collection is, quite simply, astounding, proving to the art world the excellence of their connoisseurship in building the collection.
