LONDON.-Katrin Bellinger, celebrating
twenty-five years as a respected dealer in Master Drawings in Munich and at
Colnaghi in London, will present an important
group of drawings at Le Salon du dessin at the Palais de la Bourse, Place de la
Bourse, Paris, to Monday, March 23, 2010.
This major event
attracts museum curators, collectors and lovers of drawings to Paris to meet the
top dealers in the field.Katrin’s
group of some thirty drawings will focus mainly on works by French and Italian
artists, most of which come from two private collections and have not been seen
on the market for over 30 years.
Some of the best-loved French 17th and
18th century painters will be represented. A black chalk drawing by Jean-Honoré
Fragonard (1732-1806), a pupil of Boucher, will be shown in Paris, which
illustrates Ariosto’s 16th century epic poem, Orlando Furioso: Sacripante is
Foiled while Attempting to Ravish Angela, one of 176 known drawings from the
series.
