Descriptif du lot

‘You have to be severe with art, because you don’t want to be a slave to it. Why would Picasso take David’s painting of the Sabine Women and tear it apart? Because that’s what you do. If you don’t love it enough, you walk away’ (G. Condo, quoted in C. Tompkins, ‘Portraits of Imaginary People’, The New Yorker, 17 January 2011, p. 62).
