Produktinformationen zu „A Few Collectors (ePub)“

"Funny and whimsical. There are wonderful asides ... It is also poignant."
-The New York Times

Beloved Parisian artist Pierre Le-Tan, known for designing New Yorker magazine covers and collaborations with fashion houses, summons up memories of inveterate art collectors in this utterly charming illustrated volume. He evokes fascinating, sometimes troubled figures through an array of intriguing and curious tales. With seventy of his distinctive pen and ink drawings-in vibrant color with meticulous cross-hatching-A Few Collectors opens a window onto the vast or minuscule world created by collectors out of a mix of extravagance and obstinacy. It recounts encounters in Paris, the Côte d'Azur, North Africa, London and New York, where Le-Tan's subjects have amassed a range of treasures. Some involve famed figures like former Louvre Museum director Pierre Rosenberg. Others are insolvent aristocrats, princes of film and fashion, expatriate dandies, and flat-out obsessive eccentrics. Le-Tan devotes perhaps his finest chapter to himself.

Autoren-Porträt von Pierre Le-Tan

Pierre Le-Tan was an internationally renowned French illustrator whose whimsical and stylish works were featured on the covers of The New Yorker and in many other magazines including Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. His drawings have been exhibited around the world, including in a 2004 retrospective by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid. Le-Tan died in 2019 at age 69. A year and a half later, over four hundred objects that filled his apartment, a high-ceilinged cabinet of curiosities on the Place du Palais-Bourbon in Paris, previously owned by Jean Cocteau, were auctioned at Sotheby's for some five million dollars.
