PROPERTY OF JACQUELYN MILLER MATISSE
Christie’s is privileged to offer a select group of works on paper by Henri Matisse from the collection of Jacquelyn Miller 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 twentieth 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 twentieth 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.
