20th/21st Century: Collection Francis Gross

On 30 June, Christie's will be offering an exceptional collection of 20th century works assembled over a decade by the successful businessman Francis Gross, unseen since his death in 1992. This discreet collector, who comes from a family of entrepreneurs, brought together works by the most iconic artists of the 20th century including Jean Dubuffet, Alberto Giacometti, Aristide Maillol, René Magritte, Henri Matisse, Henri Moore, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Nicolas de Staël. Preciously preserved by his family for nearly 30 years, the 28 lots that compose this group testifies to Francis Gross's extensive knowledge and passion for Impressionist and modern art.
