The Winter Collection

London: Sotheby's, 2015. Softcover. White & BW and color illus. wraps, 112 pp., color illus. VG. Item #157114

Issued in conjunction with a 2015 auction of items once collected by former Sotheby's Italy and London director John Winter. Presents details and illustrations of the 186 lots. "This is a diverse group of works of art that John enjoyed living with, commingled with pieces he sold and others that were stored away eventually to be brought to light. This sale reflects his great love of Doccia porcelain, epitomised in the stunning Apollo and Daphne group. His interests also extended to 19th century ceramics as evidenced by pieces from the Cantagalli workshop and, of course, John was an advocate of bronzes of which there is a small selection here. John bought with a vision and in recent years he purchased in the Arthur M. Sackler sale two large terracotta reliefs newly identified as by Girolamo Ticciati, a sculptor also associated with the Ginori factory. John's pioneering work on Luigi Valadier is reflected in a refined group of drawings." (foreword).
