A rriving in France in 1953 at the age of 13, Fred Feinsilber did not begin collecting until his fifties, driven purely by an instinctive pursuit of beauty rather than investment value. His daughter, Anne Feinsilber, and his longtime interior designer, Hubert Zandberg, take you inside the intimate Parisian apartment on Rue Bonaparte where Fred transformed his living space into a living gallery. Together, they reveal how every piece was chosen for its emotional resonance, creating an atmosphere that was as much a reflection of Fred’s soul as it was a display of art.
At the heart of the collection lies an exceptional focus on the surrealist painter Victor Brauner, featuring eleven works including two rare masterpieces painted under extraordinary historical circumstances, enlightened by Sotheby’s expert Thomas Bompard.
