Special Notice
On occasion, Christie's has a direct financial interest in lots consigned for sale which may include guaranteeing a minimum price or making an advance to the consignor that is secured solely by consigned property. This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party. Such third parties generally benefit financially if a guaranteed lot is sold successfully and may incur a loss if the sale is not successful.
This item will be transferred to an offsite warehouse after the sale. Please refer to department for information about storage charges and collection

"L’imaginaire c’est mon refuge, mon palais L’imaginaire est une promenade à l’intérieur du carré et du rond. Je suis une aveugle, mes sculptures sont mes yeux L’imaginaire est l’arc-en-ciel, le bonheur est l’imaginaire, l’imaginaire existe." "The imagination is my shelter, my palace The imaginary is a walk to inside the square and round. I am a blind woman, my sculptures are my eyes The imagination is the rainbow, Happiness is the imaginary, the imaginary does exist." Niki de Saint Phalle
