Auction 1 Collector's Library: Art books, Catalogues and Reference books
By AW Auctions
May 19, 2021
3B, 1st Lyusinovsky Lane, Moscow (Sherwood Tenement Building), Russia

More than 250 years ago, the major auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's began their history with book auctions. We decided that our first auction would also be a book auction. Oh these ambitions and plans... What of them will be realized, only time will tell.


For this auction, we have selected books from several Collectors' libraries. Some books came to us from Yekaterinburg, some from St. Petersburg, and some we found in old Moscow apartments.


We have a very special attitude to books, especially art books, as we work with them every day in attribution and fact-checking, etc. We believe that "book therapy" can help to recover the strength.


We look forward to seeing you at our book auction!  


All books can be export from Russia. Please send us an email if you have any questions re Shipping from Russia.


Please note that the date is postponed to May, 19 2021

Impressionism 1860-1910 / Koenemann, 2019

588 pages, colour illustrations, 28.2 by 31 cm


Softcover. Excellent condition.

In the 1860s, a style of painting emerged in Paris which fundamentally called into question the artistic concepts that had been prevalent in academies up to that time. Impressionist artists such as Monet, Renoir, and Degas now focused on their impression of the moment, which was captured in paintings depicting moods and light at certain times of the day and of the season, as well as in snapshots of modern life. This new kind of artistic worldview spread to other countries in Europe and the United States, which in turn produced numerous Impressionist painters. With more than 450 works, Impressionism 1860-1910 presents an overview of the most important Impressionist paintings.

Richly illustrated. English, French, German, Italian and Spanish Edition.
