Note du spécialiste

Our present owner's father arrived in France from Vietnam in the early 1930s, at the height of cultural exchanges between France and Vietnam. As the president of the Vietnamese Students Association in Paris, he was well acquainted with artists, such as Le Pho, Vu Cao Dam, Mai Trung Thu and Le Thi Luu.

He remained close friends with Le Thi Luu and her family over the years. Christie's is pleased to present this section of Le Thi Luu works, gifted from the artist directly to owner's family. They have never left the owner's home until now and are a beautiful testimony to the artist's mastery of soft lines and balance of colours. Her compositions are imbued with feminine delicacy and grace.
