This fascinating Christie's auction catalog from February 14, 2008, documents an important sale of Impressionist and Modern Art featuring works from the estate of renowned arts patron Kitty Carlisle Hart. The catalog showcases museum-quality pieces that once graced the private collection of this legendary Broadway star, television personality, and tireless arts advocate.
Hart, best known as the "Grande Dame of the musical theatre" and panelist on "To Tell the Truth," was a passionate collector with an extraordinary eye for artistic excellence. This catalog offers a rare glimpse into her personal collection, featuring works by masters of the Impressionist and Modern movements.

This catalog features works by masters including Picasso, Pissarro, Rodin, Gauguin, Derain, Vlaminck, Dufy, and Manet. The catalog showcases museum-quality pieces from a distinguished private collection, offering scholars and collectors access to works spanning the most important movements in modern art history.
The collection represents a carefully curated survey of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters, with works by pivotal figures such as Camille Pissarro, whose innovative techniques helped define the movement, and Paul Gauguin, whose bold primitivism influenced generations of artists. The catalog also features works by Fauve masters including Raoul Dufy and Maurice de Vlaminck, alongside pieces by André Derain and other significant modernists.

This catalog contains multiple fold-out prints that showcase the artworks in exceptional detail - a special feature that enhances its value as both a reference tool and collectible. The scholarly apparatus includes detailed artist biographies, exhibition histories, and literature references, making this an essential resource for collectors, art historians, and students of 20th-century art.
The collection was assembled by arts patron Kitty Carlisle Hart, adding provenance interest for collectors of entertainment memorabilia alongside its primary value as an art reference.
