Christian P. was a man of many lives. A keen traveller, cinema set designer, chef, antique restorer and, ultimately, collector, his personal journey was filled with a wide range of passions. He chose the objects he used in his daily life with meticulous care, relying solely on his own taste.
Like other famous collections such as Boyd, Alexander von Gesesack and Marc Hotermans, the one presented in this catalogue displays a diversity of forms and styles, ranging from the Wiener Werkstätte, through De Stijl movement, the Bauhaus, Czech rationalism and constructivism, to the Neue Sachlichkeit and its flowering in post-war modernism.
This auction is a tribute to his rare discernment and rigorous ethics.
