Two natural, poetic works by the legendary husband and wife, Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne, stood on a pine table by Eileen Gray.

Claude Lalanne, Eileen Gray and Line Vautrin were the leaders in a sale reflecting International Women's Day.

“Eileen Agar: Angel of Anarchy” presents over 100 works by the artist at Whitechapel Gallery in London, her largest survey yet.

This small treasure trove of photographs by leading exponents of the mid-19th century was recently discovered in a property in Touraine.
