Jewelry, Fashion, Furniture and Works of Art Sale

In tribute to Pierre FERRENBACH

This is the sale of the collection of Mr. Pierre Ferrenbach, a great art lover and artist himself, who was very close to the founders of the Galerie Jade in Colmar, as well as to Jacques Damase, publisher of Sonia Delaunay for the last 15 years of his life. He also edited many other major twentieth-century artists.

Mr. Ferrenbach was also published by Jacques Damase for his photographs taken during his many trips to the Arctic and Sahara.

We have also managed to recover some of his books, in which the photographs we are offering for sale are illustrated.

Around ten photographs will be presented for sale.

As well as other works created by Mr. Ferrenbach himself, consisting of strips of film, exhibited at Art Basel alongside other artists represented by Galerie Jade.

As a result of his relationship with Galerie Jade, Pierre Ferrenbach has developed a definite taste for contemporary and avant-garde art. He told me that he learned everything he needed to know from Edouard Jaeglé and Karine Graff, who advised him on building up his collection.

On their advice, he acquired and then resold several oil paintings by Pierre Soulages and Robert Delaunay.

He has also collected works by the BP collective => Here's their official website http://www.bp-officialsite.com/.
