Sale Overview

The Sam Josefowitz Collection will be dispersed among three sales at Christie’s Paris, including an Evening sale on October 20th, a Day Sale on October 21st, and an Online sale closes on October 25th.

Sam cultivated a deep passion for the history of art, building an extraordinary collection that spanned more than two millennia of artistic creation. In many ways, the collection is a reflection of Sam’s approach to life itself, shaped by a fervent pursuit of knowledge, embracing beauty, history, and cultures from across the globe. Assembled over the course of six decades, his boundless curiosity and unerring eye for quality saw Sam focus on artists and periods that had a transformative impact on the history of art. He was as intrigued by the sculptural reliefs of the Ancient Assyrians as he was the Impressionist canvases of Gustave Caillebotte, and held a particular appreciation for the radical painters of the Pont-Aven School, whom he had first discovered at an exhibition in Paris in 1955.  These three auctions will focus on the Pont-Aven school, Modern art, decorative arts, particularly Alberto and Diego Giacometti, as well as a wide selection of prints and manuscripts, thus offering an exceptional opportunity for art enthusiasts to discover the richness and diversity of Sam Josefowitz’s collection, which has captivated the mind and heart of this passionate collector for decades.

La dispersion de la collection de Sam Josefowitz sera répartie en trois ventes chez Christie's à Paris, comprenant une Vente du Soir le 20 octobre, une Vente du Jour le 21 octobre, et une Vente en ligne clôturant le 25 octobre.

Sam Josefowitz a cultivé une passion profonde pour l'histoire de l'art, formant ainsi une remarquable collection qui englobe plus de deux millénaires de création artistique. À bien des égards, la collection témoigne de la philosophie de vie de Sam, façonnée par son insatiable soif de savoir et sa profonde admiration pour le Beau et l’Histoire. Constituée au fil de six décennies, sa curiosité insatiable et son œil infaillible l'ont conduit à se focaliser sur des artistes et des périodes qui ont profondément influencé l'évolution de l'histoire de l'art. Il était tout aussi captivé par les reliefs sculpturaux de l'ancienne Assyrie que par les toiles impressionnistes de Gustave Caillebotte, et nourrissait une affection particulière pour les artistes révolutionnaires de l'École de Pont-Aven, qu'il avait découverts pour la première fois lors d'une exposition à Paris en 1955. Ces trois ventes se focaliseront sur l’école de Pont-Aven, l'Art moderne, les arts décoratifs notamment Albert et Diego Giacometti, ainsi qu'une large sélection d'estampes et de manuscrits, offrant ainsi une opportunité exceptionnelle aux amateurs d'art du monde entier de découvrir la richesse et la diversité de la collection de Sam Josefowitz, qui a captivé l'esprit et le cœur de ce collectionneur passionné pendant des décennies.
