Contemporary School - Lot 228
Contemporary School HAVANA CIGAR SMOKERS silver print dedicated to Yves Carcelle 34.5 x 27 cm (2) Provenance: Yves Carcelle Collection, France. Yves Carcelle was a true symbol of French elegance. During his tenure as president of Louis Vuitton, he transformed this century-old leather goods house into a major player in the luxury industry thanks to his marketing genius and charisma. A passionate art history enthusiast, he sadly passed away a few weeks before the opening of the building designed by Frank Gehry for the Foundation, of which he was also president. Yves Carcelle maintained close ties with artists and personally appreciated the contemporary art collection. He had developed a particular passion for Asian contemporary art, which he had discovered early on during his travels to China in the 1980s. Aponem is honored to present a selection of works from his private collection at its October 26 auction held in conjunction with Art Basel, and to pay tribute to this “pioneer and tireless traveler,” in the words of Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of the LVMH Group. Please contact the auction house for condition reports.
