St'Art Contemporary Art Fair in France
St'art, the second-ranking contemporary art fair in France in terms of the number of exhibitors and visitors, is paying homage to collectors for the first time this year by presenting private and public collections: The paintings and sculptures of the collectors' association Les Centaures.
Among others, Les Centaures exhibits works by Max Neumann, Bram Bogart, Pincemin, Favier, Pizzi Cannella, Miguel Chevalier, Olivier Debré and Pages.
Founded by the architect Christian Forestier, the association Les Centaures is made up of over fifty art enthusiasts and since 1993, has purchased the works of young artists thanks to the subscriptions of its members. Their collection includes 84 paintings, sculptures and photographic works.
It will be sold at auction by decision of the AGM. Just like La Peau de l'Ours which inspired Les Centaures' project, the profits from the auction will be shared out among the association's members and the artists in proportion to each person's contribution at the time the sale occurs.
La Peau de l'Ours was the artistic event of 1914. The collection sold in that year contained major works by names such as Bonnard, Picasso, Matisse and Rouault.
