Lot 818 PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF GUY AND MARIE- HÉLÈNE WEILL
Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, Marie- Hélène Bigar immigrated to the US in 1939 where after attending Radcliffe College, she married Guy Weill, also a native of Switzerland. Becoming true partners in art and intellect, they embarked on a lifetime journey of collecting and studying the art that caught their eye, primarily Abstract Expressionism and later Asian art. Inspired by her love for Asian art, Marie- Hélène served as a docent at the China Institute and then went on to become a lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Marie- Hélène and Guy saw collecting as an essential means of engaging with the world: “For us,” the couple stated simply, “art is, and always has been, life.”
