Today, we’re revealing an unprecedented group of 12 Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, each one a masterpiece with distinguished provenance and rarity. This is ‘Legendary: The Blaquier-Arrieta Collection,’ headlining The New York Sales in November. Swipe to see each of the 12 masterworks. 

This collection is led by two landmark paintings: ‘Châtaigniers en fleurs’ by Vincent van Gogh and ‘Arlequin’ by Paul Cézanne. Neither has been seen in public for over half a century and both are poised to set new auction records at #SothebysNewYork this fall. 

The wider group traces the arc of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s ‘En Canot (Jeune fille à la barque)’—a boating scene painted the year the Impressionists took their name, Camille Pissarro’s grand Parisian streetscape ‘La Place du Théâtre-Français, soleil d’après-midi en hiver,’ and Edgar Degas’s pastel ‘Avant la course.’ Like the great majority of works in the collection, these paintings have never been offered at auction before.

A selection of these are on view 30 September - 1 October at #SothebysLondon before they embark on a global tour to our galleries in Taipei, Hong Kong, Paris, and New York. Learn more about the collection and register to bid in the November evening auction, presented in partnership with celine, at the link in bio.
