A life of travel, a life of collecting. - Lot 6
A life of travel, a life of collecting. Over the decades and through their many travels, the couple who owns this collection has patiently built up a collection that is as personal as it is eclectic. Far more than mere souvenirs brought back from their travels, they have selected works of art and craftsmanship, ethnographic pieces, curiosities, and natural history specimens, guided by their taste, curiosity, and fascination with the cultures they encountered. All these objects coexist in a rich and vibrant world, shaped over time. The collection irresistibly evokes the spirit of 17th-century cabinets of curiosities: those places where, with passion and erudition, wonders of nature and human creations from distant lands were gathered. A spirit one might think had vanished… but which endures here with remarkable vitality. In addition to the discoveries they made during their travels, they acquired items at auctions. Among these are notably two statues from the sale of the Vlaminck collection on July 2, 1987, which will soon be presented by Lemon Auction. This auction thus offers an opportunity to step into the intimate world of passionate collectors, built over a lifetime around curiosity, travel, and a love of objects.
