To our valued audience and prospective event invitees: The health and comfort of our event guests is of utmost importance, therefore in consideration of the growing health concerns over the Coronavirus (COVID-19), Fine Art Brokers, Trusts & Estates, and Christie’s have decided to postpone our upcoming event, Planning Strategies for Fine Art & Collectibles, until the Autumn of 2020.
This panel talk will cover essential and invaluable information for our audience, so it is equally important for us that we can present this event at a time when it may be most beneficial to all our invitees.
Further details of the event will be sent out in due course, however, please do not hesitate to contact Fine Art Brokers with any questions in the interim, we would be delighted to assist.
Please find the details for the forthcoming event below. If you would like additional information or would like to request an invitation please let us know, space will be limited.

Market Analysis: Jean-Paul Riopelle's 1950's Abstractions
Jean-Paul Riopelle developed his mature style in the early 1950s: tessellated canvases that unfold like constellations, their heavy impasto applied with a palette knife directly from the tube of paint. Living in Paris and exhibiting worldwide, including at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and with Pierre Matisse Gallery from 1953–89 – which was owned by the son of Henri Matisse and promoted the European avant-garde in the US – Riopelle became the most internationally acclaimed Canadian artist of his generation. This holds still more true today, with prices for the artist’s work reaching unprecedented heights.

The Art Market in Lock-Down?
Fine Art Brokers hope that all our friends, clients, colleagues and peers in the trade stay well and healthy. As art market professionals, we have been approached by numerous collectors over the last month for advice and opinion on the effect of the global Covid-19 crisis on the art market. Here we outline our initial thoughts, although all of our experts in New York and London are happy to speak in more depth to collectors and consignors on a one-to-one basis.
