Spotlight, Collection François Meyer

Francois Meyer (1953 2022) was a lifelong collector, whose allencompassing passion and curiosity for art led to him assembling an eclectic collection whilst at the same time documenting the artists behind it. Francois Meyers collecting journey was inextricably linked with his own creativity, as he photographed some of the bestknown and bestloved artists of his time, including Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Sonia Delaunay, Helen Frankenthaler, Wilfredo Lam, Sam Francis, Shirin Neshat, Fernando Botero and David Hockney, to name a few. This September, Sothebys Paris will hold a dedicated auction of Francois Meyers personal collection, offering artworks from the breadth of his prolific passions. Prior to the sale, which is titled Collection Francois Meyer: A Colourful Passion, the 160 works will be exhibited to the public in Sothebys Paris galleries from 22 25
