Christie’s has more than 300 lots of drawings to disperse over two days from March 27-28, in two auctions: one devoted to Old Master material, the other to modern works on paper.
Spread across both events are pieces from the collection of the Swiss bibliophile and art collector Jean Bonna which the auction house is dispersing through various sales in Paris, London and New York over the next year. Elements of his extensive collection were exhibited at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts from 2006-7 and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2009.
