Biography
Waddington Custot is pleased to present a selection of modern artworks at TEFAF New York, located at Stand 316. The gallery’s presentation includes significant pieces by Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Robert Bechtle, Félix Vallotton, Charles Filiger, Edouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, Paul Sérusier, Wifredo Lam, Jean Dubuffet, and Bernard Boutet de Monvel.
Highlights include an exceptionally rare oil on canvas by Robert Bechtle – one of his earliest automobile paintings, from a series that would become among his most iconic. Also on view are rarely seen paintings and drawings by Bernard Boutet de Monvel, an early precisionist whose fascination with the geometry and modernity of New York profoundly shaped his work.
