Christie’s to Sell Wasserman Collections

October 13, 2011 by Marion Maneker

Christie’s will be selling Lew Wasserman’s art work including a Soutine, Degas and Matisse painting:

Assembled largely in the 1950s and 60s by the “king and queen of Hollywood,” the collection includes several seldom-seen works by important artists such as Degas, Matisse, Vuillard and Soutine that have adorned the couple’s Beverly Hills home for decades. Over 30 items from this exceptional private collection will be offered in the Impressionist and Modern Art Sales, beginning with seven pieces in Christie’s major Evening Sale of Impressionist and Modern Art in New York on Tuesday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m. The total value of the collection is expected to exceed $18 million.
