Neo-Romantic and Surrealist Art from the Collection of Pierre Le-Tan, Sotheby's
About the Item
Sotheby's, London: Neo-Romantic & Surrealistic Art from the Collection of Pierre Le-Tan. October 25, 1995. 210 lots, Including artwork by: Beaton, Berard, Cocteau, de Chirico, Heraut, Horst, Keogh, Miro, Tanguy, Man Ray, Leger, Berman, de la Fresnaye, et. al. Born in the comfortable Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Le-Tan was brought up in a family that was steeped in creativity. His father was Le Pho (1907–2001), a distinguished, highly collectable Hanoi-born French painter the son of Le Hoan, viceroy of Tonkin in the 1880s who was admired for his post-Impressionistic scenes of colorful flowers and the lissome Asian women embowered within them. His mother, Paulette Vaux, was a French journalist for Time and Life magazines and a niece of the photographer Marc Vaux. His interest in the 1940's extended to the artist’s personal connoisseurship, which ranged from a whimsical butterfly-painted chest of drawers that Jansen made for the Duchess of Windsor, Renaissance marbles, and 18th-century Turkish carpets, all contained within his apartment, once Cocteau’s own, in Paris’s Place du Palais-Bourbon.

- Contemporary Art Afternoon May 16, 2007 Sotheby's, 1st EdLocated in valatie, NYContemporary Art Afternoon May 16, 2007 Sotheby's. Published by Sotheby's, NY, 2007. 1st Ed softcover auction catalogue. The Rockefeller name worked its magic at Sotheby’s sale of contemporary art, where a mysterious bearded collector in a skybox outbid five other contenders for Rothko’s “White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose).” The $72.8 million he paid, far above the painting’s $40 million estimate, set records for both the artist and for any contemporary work at auction. Sotheby’s declined to say who the buyer was or where he was from. But the seller was David Rockefeller, the retired banker and chairman emeritus of the Museum of Modern Art, who had decided to cash in on the market and invest the money in other philanthropic endeavors. Seasoned auction goers noticed that last night rubles appeared for the first time on the salesroom’s currency board, along with dollars, euros, pounds and Swiss...Category
