Christie's Paris will sell the personal collection of Franco-American art dealer Waring Hopkins this winter. The live auction, Waring Hopkins, un americain a Paris, takes place in Paris on 10 December, with an online sale from 4 to 15 December. Roughly 500 lots are drawn entirely from the dealer's own holdings, ranging from Symbolist and Nabi painting through Surrealism to contemporary art, alongside classical furniture, decorative arts and design. Hopkins was born in the United States to a French mother and settled in Paris as a young adult, where he opened his gallery in 1984. It quickly became a respected stop on the international circuit, and he exhibited at TEFAF Maastricht, Art Basel and the Paris Biennale. Through the gallery he championed the Nabis, including Maurice Denis, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard and Ker-Xavier Roussel, as well as Surrealism and figures from Jean Dubuffet to Claude Lalanne. He also advised major collectors, helping assemble the holdings of Marlene and Spencer Hays and of Zeineb and Jean-Pierre Marcie-Riviere, and lent works to shows at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Fondation Pierre Gianadda. The sale's highlights reflect the breadth of his taste. A Maurice Denis canvas, Marthe et son fils dans un paysage (1893), carries the top estimate at €200,000-300,000, and the collection holds fourteen works by Denis. Thirty-one works by Edouard Vuillard include the pastel Le Boa (€70,000-100,000), alongside nineteen by Pierre Bonnard, while the Pont-Aven School appears through Charles Filiger, Paul Serusier and Armand Seguin. Surrealism is represented by Jean Arp, Max Ernst and Joan Miro, and a 1955 oil by Maria Helena Vieira da Silva is estimated at €150,000-250,000. Furniture and design range from two Claude Lalanne candelabra (€80,000-120,000 each) to a pair of Jacob Freres armchairs (€50,000-80,000). The sale also nods to Hopkins's Paris apartment on Avenue Gabriel, shaped with his friend the designer Mica Ertegun, where period furniture hung beside contemporary commissions such as a monumental Fabrice Hyber wall work (€40,000-60,000). It continues a run of dealer-collection auctions at Christie's, following the Marian Goodman sale in New York, the Durand-Ruel sale in Paris in October and the Antonio Homem Sonnabend dispersal.
