Property of Jacquelyn Miller Matisse
Christie's is privileged to offer a select group of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse and Joan Miró from the collection of Jacquelyn Matisse in the fall Impressionist and Modern art sales in New York. Jacquelyn and her late husband, Pierre-Noël Matisse, grandson of the artist, inherited an encyclopedic and extraordinary collection of works--not only by Matisse but by an array of 20th century masters--from his remarkable parents, Pierre Matisse and Alexina "Teeny" Duchamp. Jacquelyn's father-in-law, Pierre Matisse, is considered one of the most influential dealers of the 20th century, having introduced artists such as Joan Miró, Alberto Giacometti and Jean Dubuffet to America, while her mother-in-law "Teeny" Duchamp led an adventurous and offbeat life, having later married the artist Marcel Duchamp.
