THAT`S LIFE

Gustav Klimt drawings | Masterpieces of African art

-

We are pleased to show works on paper by the great Austrian artist Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918) and classical African art in our premises in Zurich.

Drawings from Klimt s academically influenced period of the late 19th century to the famous erotic works of the 1910s meet masterful early sculptures and masks from West Africa.

Many of the exhibited artworks with prestigious provenances from European private collections, both on loan and for sale, are being presented to the public for the first time in over half a century.

APART FROM A POSSIBLE CONTEMPORANEOUS CREATIVE PERIOD,
THE COMMON ELEMENT IS THE QUALITY OF THE ART.

THAT`S LIFE, IN MEMORY OF AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTOR,
FRIEND AND CONNOISSEUR, IS FOR US A THOROUGHLY DARING
COMBINATION WITH A FASCINATING OUTCOME.
