			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EDITORIAL NOTE: A few pieces but strong selection  and known provenance with a twist of well selected tribes and clients that are educated to get the best quality at the highest prices, these seem to be the rules for success of Sothebys. David Norden</p>
<p>PARIS— Sotheby’s concluded its June sales of Oceanic and African art in Paris  on Wednesday, achieving a total of $8,448,741.</p>
<p>Of the 82 lots on offer, 12 works from the collection of <strong>Marsha</strong> and John Friede spurred a fierce bidding competition,  with many pieces exceeding their estimates. The highest-earning work in  the sale was an early-19th-century Hembigurea ancestor figure from the  Congo, which fetched $1,042,109 above the high estimate of $619,150.  This June marks the 50th anniversary of the Congo&#8217;s  independence.</p>
<p>Other top lots included a 42-inch carved female figure by a craftsman of  the Inyai-Ewa People, which earned $685,133; the work had previously  been in the collection of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Douglas Newton</span>, a former curator, who  built <strong>The Michael C.  Rockefeller Memorial  Collection </strong>at the <strong>Metropolitan Museum of Art</strong>.  Another crouching female figure that had been included in the first  show of Oceanic art in the U.S., at <strong>Pierre Matisse Gallery</strong> in New York in 1934, was sold for $476,897, a price that more than  doubled the high estimate.</p>
<p>Oceanic art has inspired numerous modern masters such as Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti, and Pablo Picasso. The sales in New York last month  and Paris on Wednesday showed a continued global interest in collecting  this category as they achieved strong prices far exceeding the  estimates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Collections Anne et Jacques Kerchache</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="kerchache" src="http://catalogue.gazette-drouot.com/images/perso/cat/VENTE/32/6802/couv.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="231" />vente du 13 Juin 2010</p>
<p>Les 12 et 13 juin 2010, Pierre Bergé &amp; associés auront l’honneur de disperser les collections d’Anne et Jacques Kerchache à Drouot Montaigne.</p>
<p>Elles seront représentées en majorité par les Arts Premiers, mais aussi par l’Extrême-Orient, l’Art Contemporain avec des oeuvres de Paul Rebeyrolle, Sam Szafran, par le Surréalisme (Max Ernst), par du mobilier de Designers (Ado Chale, Hervé Van Der Straeten), par une collection d’insectes, de minéraux …</p>
<p>Cet ensemble est avant tout le reflet d’une vie consacrée à la passion des Arts Premiers, mais elle est aussi la manifestation de l’influence des surréalistes dans le choix des objets.</p>
<p>Jacques Kerchache (1942-2001) possédait à la fois la passion de l’oeuvre et le bonheur de la communiquer. Son mentor était Max-Pol Fouchet et ses pairs les surréalistes.<br />
Très jeune, il avait rencontré André Breton et de leurs conversations passionnées était née cette complicité de collectionneurs pour qui l’objet est créateur de mondes.</p>
<p>Jacques Kerchache est à l’origine de l’ouverture du Pavillon des Sessions du Louvre en 2000 à l’initiative du Président de la République Jacques Chirac, qui lui confie alors le projet de concevoir la collection des Arts Premiers.<br />
Jacques Kerchache disparaitra en août 2001, cinq ans avant l’inauguration du musée du quai Branly. Son épouse, Anne Kerchache, en est membre du conseil d’administration.</p>
<p>Née de mère Vietnamienne et de père Sénégalais, Anne a su faire partager à son mari l’âme de l’Afrique noire et celle de l’Asie du Sud-Est.<br />
Sensible à l’intuition capitale qu’elle avait des objets, Jacques Kerchache lui confiait souvent le soin d’acquérir des oeuvres ; grâce à elle, il eut de l’Afrique et de l’Asie une perception complète. Ils partageaient aussi le même plaisir aux montages des expositions, ajustant la présentation de chaque objet, réglant l’implantation des vitrines au millimètre près, relisant les cartels avec la précision et l’exigence qui caractérisaient chacune de leurs interventions.</p>
<p>Devenue Mme Kamal Douaoui, Anne et son époux ouvrent une nouvelle page du livre de leurs passions.</p>
