Impressionist & Modern Art
Vue de Montmartre, a rare landscape painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) leads Bonhams' Impressionist and Modern Art sale on November 10 in New York. The work, which captures the Belle Epoque's epicenter in the painter's renowned pallet, has an estimate of $380,000 - 550,000. The 75-lot sale will present works across various artistic mediums including paintings, works on paper, and sculpture, and will include pieces from a number of distinguished private collections - such as the late Ann Reinking, Dr. Paul Cushman, Jr., Adolph and Phyllis Green and Lynda Thomas. Highlights include an exceptional early bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin, a remarkable group of four works on paper by Henri Matisse and two distinguished works on paper by Diego Rivera.
Molly Ott Ambler, Bonhams Head of Fine Art, Americas, states: "This sale offers highly desirable works from important collections, including Renoir's magical Vue de Montmartre, a majestic view of Paris at its most romantic. With great names such as Degas, Rodin and Rivera also in the line-up, the sale is already attracting interest and we are looking forward to the auction itself on November, 10."
Anchoring the sale is an extraordinary painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vue de Montmartre (1885), a magnificent landscape depicting a sweeping view of the French capital from the most famous hill in the country. Renoir's signature use of loose, free lines, bold use of harmonious color, and focus on natural luminosity highlight his appreciation for nature in its own right ? even within the City of Lights itself. Renoir's affinity for the Parisian neighbourhood of Montmartre stemmed from the many years he spent there, mingling with the most esteemed artists of the Belle Epoque. Montmartre was a hotbed of artistic talent, allowing Renoir to share his theories and endeavors with like-minded individuals who would become lifelong friends.
