Gracing the cover of the catalogue is Lot 104, Le casino rose (Le casino de la Jetée Nice) by Raoul Dufy.

One of the leading painters of early 20th-century France, Raoul Dufy is celebrated for his vibrant colors and fluid brushwork. His depictions of the French Riviera, yacht races, and horse racing remain highly sought after by collectors around the world.

Painted in the late 1920s, this work depicts the seaside casino in Nice, on France's Mediterranean coast. The period marked an important stage in Dufy's artistic development, during which he established his distinctive style. The painting's luminous colors and effortless brushwork exemplify the bright, open atmosphere that characterizes many of Dufy's mature works.

Lot 25, Campbell's Soup Box (Onion) by Andy Warhol, is another highlight of the sale.

Widely regarded as the leading figure of American Pop Art, Andy Warhol transformed everyday consumer products and popular culture into subjects of fine art. Alongside iconic works such as his Marilyn Monroe portraits and the Brillo Boxes, the Campbell's Soup series remains one of his most recognizable achievements.

Created in 1986, this acrylic and silkscreen on canvas is based on Warhol's celebrated Campbell's Soup Can series. Its vivid colors and bold contrasts exemplify his ability to elevate familiar commercial imagery into powerful works of contemporary art, perfectly capturing the spirit of Pop Art.
