Video Description

Ahead of the Robert Kime | The Personal Collection auction on the 4, 5 and 6 October 2023, join Simon Martin, Director of Pallant House Gallery, and Will Porter, Dreweatts Co-Head of Modern & Contemporary Art, as they share some personal insights into some of Robert’s most loved artists and collection of paintings, as he chose to have them surround him in his last home in London. Known the world over as a titan of design and the ‘great assembler’ of beautiful things, Robert Kime’s unique eye and aesthetic sensibility led him to become one of the leading design figures of his generation. The culmination of Robert’s lifetime of collecting will form a three-day auction, charting his passion, curiosity, and delight in beautiful things through the contents of his homes in London and Provence. Robert’s family hope that this sale will give the opportunity for all collectors, young and old, to enjoy the objects Robert chose to call ‘old friends.’ The auction will take place at Donnington Priory 4-6 October 2023 Follow the link below to keep up to date about the sale, our series of events, and highlights: https://www.dreweatts.com/auctions/robert-kime-the-personal-collection-14587/ With warmest thanks to Simon Martin, and the Kime Family.
