Louise Janin (1893-1997)

Throughout her rich and tumultuous life, Margaret Louise Brozek acquired works of exceptional quality from limited series by Giacometti, Pompon and Hiquily.

Around ten pieces of jewellery by Suzanne Belperron owned by a trailblazer, one of the first women to become a senior civil servant.

While the fair is in full swing, one of the French artist's (who died in 2010) giant spiders has been sold for $40M by Hauser & Wirth - the auction record for a Spider being set at $28M. The 1996 steel structure came from the collection of Ursula Hauser, mother of the gallery's co-founder 

“Louise Bourgeois: The Woven Child” presents 90 works from the final period of Louise Bourgeois’ (1911-2010) career: the artist’s powerful fabric sculptures invite visitors to contemplate her emotional repair in the final two decades of her life.

Frieze New York has just ended, and initial figures for the works sold are already circulating. Louise Bourgeois made the headlines within a few hours of the opening.

Though not part of the Riechers collection, sold during the same sale by Ader, a Nature Morte aux quetsches (Still life with damsons) by Louise Moillon (1610-1696) still fetched the highest bid in the catalogue when it soared up to €588,800 on 24 June at Drouot.

Art lovers, together with a few curious onlookers, were at Drouot this past Friday to witness the sale of the collection of the physicist - and father of the filmmaker Cédric Klapisch - and his wife. 95% of the lots were sold for €220,000, nearly double the low estimate.

The museum is taking a closer look at contemporary design by adding to its Slow Relief collection, a 2003 piece acquired from Maria Wettergren and on display until Feb. 28 at the Pompidou Center in Shanghai. Louise Campbell (1970) oscillates between production with a functionalist spirit and prospective creations.

Size, quality of execution and, of course, the model's celebrity status are just some of the highlights of this portrait by Karl Anton Hickel (1745-1798).

They were the Nantes session’s two leading artists, along with Louise Abbéma for her quick sketch of Sarah Bernhardt.
