Sotheby’s France announces 2nd sale of contemporary artNovember 30, 2015 - 15:27 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Sotheby’s France announced its second sale of contemporary art this year, on 9 & 10 December, according to Art Daily. It once again features the artists who contributed to the success of the Paris sale in June 2015, which achieved a record total for a contemporary art sale in France. Many works in this catalogue will appear on the market for the first time. They include an early compression by César (one of the first he produced), bought by Marie-Laure de Noailles in 1961 and still in private hands. The sale also includes two masterpieces by Jean Dubuffet (a painter much sought-after by collectors), from his most important series: Paris Circus and Tableaux d’assemblage et routes et chaussées. Abstraction is given pride of place, with a composition by Jean-Paul Riopelle, three paintings by Zao Wou-Ki, great examples of his work in the mid-Sixties, and two by Pierre Soulages.
