Cornelia Svedman, Associate Director, Head of Sale: “This sale saw competitive bidding from across 5 continents with new and established collectors active throughout. International collectors were united in their search for exceptional works on paper, from neo-classical to late Picassos, the height of the Brücke movement and the Bauhaus. We now look forward to the next Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper sale in Paris in March.”
