Artist's Resale Right ("Droit de Suite"). Artist's… 显示更多

PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF GUY AND MARIE-HÉLÈNE WEILLAcross more than half a century, the collectors Guy and Marie-Hélène Weill engaged in an inspired, deeply shared journey in fine art. Early patrons of Modernism and Abstract Expressionism, the couple expanded their connoisseurship in the latter decades of the twentieth century to encompass a diversity of categories. Their private collection stood as a tangible expression of the curiosity and zeal with which they lived. The visual and intellectual richness of the Weills’ assemblage of fine art was only further illuminated by the couple’s unassuming reverence toward it: “Our collection is not a large one,” Guy and Marie-Hélène Weill stated, “but it reflects our taste and judgment about what is worth living with day after day.”Guy and Marie-Hélène Weill’s affinity for fine art transcended history and geography: from trailblazing works of Modernism, Abstract Expressionism and to the spiritual beauty of Chinese painting and Southeast Asian sculpture. The Weills saw collecting as an essential means of engaging with the world: “For us,” the couple stated simply, “art is, and always has been, life.”
