Visionary - A Tour of the Paul G. Allen Collection, Sponsored by Christie’s
Christie’s hosted APAA members for a private preview of Visionary: The Paul G. Allen Collection, led by Max Carter and Johanna Flaum. Allen, the philanthropist and co-founder of Microsoft, was a discerning collector, and the sale offers more than 150 masterpieces spanning 500 years of art history. Reflecting the depth and breadth of Paul G. Allen’s collection, the auctions connect this visionary innovator to a range of ground-breaking artists, joining Paul Cezanne with David Hockney and Georges Seurat with Jasper Johns. Valued in excess of $1 billion, The Paul G. Allen Collection is poised to be the largest and most exceptional art auction in history. Pursuant to his wishes, the estate will dedicate all the proceeds to philanthropy.
