Collection Jean-Claude Bellier 
A godson of Vuillard and a great friend of Jacques Kerchache, Jean-Claude Bellier was not only one of the most prominent Parisian dealers of the 1970s. He was also an original collector, curious and happy to see what kind of beauty could emerge from the combination of Nabi works and statues from the Congo, an ink by Victor Hugo and a mask from Japan. It is now a privilege for Sotheby’s to present some of the works from his collection.

Filleul de Vuillard, grand ami de Jacques Kerchache, Jean-Claude Bellier ne se contenta pas d’être un des marchands parisiens les plus en vue des années 1970. Lettré et cultivé, il fut également un collectionneur original, curieux et heureux de voir quel genre de beauté pourrait sourdre du rapprochement entre œuvres nabies et statues du Congo, une encre de Victor Hugo et un masque du Japon. C’est aujourd’hui un privilège pour Sotheby’s de présenter certaines des œuvres de sa collection.
