Property of the Prudential Collection Christie's is pleased to offer a selection of works from the prestigious Prudential Foundation Art Collection in a series of sales of Post-War and Contemporary Art, Photography and Prints. Prudential has been a supporter of the arts since the 1970s and through the decades, they have put together a collection of staggering breadth and depth, including thousands of works in all media, including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculpture. An integral part of the arts community, Prudential has been actively involved in supporting young and upcoming artists. It is an active and vital collection, with most of the works being displayed at various premises, creating an enriching and dynamic dialogue with employees and clients. Prudential remains committed to the arts and its role in life and the workplace. They are only selling a tiny fraction of works, retaining the lion's share for their collection.
