Christie’s announced further details on The Collection of Joan and Preston Robert Tisch, which will be offered as a central highlight of the Impressionist and Modern Art and Post-War and Contemporary Art Sales taking place in New York this May. Encompassing over 40 objects in total, The Collection of Joan and Preston Robert Tisch is expected to realize more than $80 million. Collection proceeds will go to the Tisch family foundations to continue the couple’s lifelong philanthropic mission. Conor Jordan, Deputy Chairman, Impressionist and Modern Art, remarked: `Joan and Preston Robert Tisch were judicious collectors, who acquired superlative examples by many of the most pioneering artists of the 20th century. The group that they assembled epitomizes the aesthetic dynamism that came to define the art of the Modern era. It will be an honor to present this collection at auction this May.` While studying English at the Univers
