Modern art is the new intellectual currency, attracting the attention of media moguls, hedge fund managers and Hollywood darlings, giving them access to an exclusive global community. Renowned art dealers Philippe Ségalot and Franck Giraud have curated The Impossible Collection of Art, an unprecedented collection of modern art where anything is possible. These 100 extraordinary works, presented by Joachim Pissarro, offer a unique perspective on the artistic achievements of the 20th century, whether hidden in museum vaults or up for auction. In the 2nd edition, Ségalot and Giraud have updated eleven new works, inspiring endless discussions and inviting art lovers to imagine their own Impossible Dream collection.

About the Author

Philippe Ségalot joined Christie's in New York in 1996 as a contemporary art specialist before becoming the company's international head of contemporary art. Franck Giraud joined Christie's in New York as a specialist in impressionist and modern art in 1988 and became international director of impressionist and modern art at Christie's in 1996. Both founded the art consultancy Giraud.Pissaro.Ségalot , based in New York and Paris, with partner Lionel Pissarro in 2001. After Giraud's retirement in 2012, the company became Ségalot LP and focused on 20th and 21st century art under the direction of Philippe Segalot.
Art historian Joachim Pissarro is professor emeritus at Hunter College/CUNY. His most recent book is Aesthetics of the Margins/The Margins of Aesthetics: Wild Art Explained (with David Carrier). He is a founding member of the Global Museums Strategies Group (with Philippe de Montebello and Jennifer Stockman).

Craftsmanship

Assouline's ultimate collection is a tribute to the art of luxury bookmaking.

Covering a range of subjects from jewelry and fashion, to fine art and “impossible collections,” the ultimate collection curates culture from around the world and across the ages. Nestled in linen clamshell boxes, these books attract collectors, lovers of the printed page, and those who devour the culture of our time. Signifying a new level of sophistication for true connoisseurs, these unique books are works of art in their own right.
