Auction February 19, 2022: 50 paintings and sculptures valued from €600 to €5,000
Although there is already a museum named after him in Kentucky, Joe Downing has made several donations to the Musée d’Avignon and the Musée Unterlinden in Colmar, which now owns more than a hundred of the artist’s canvases, watercolors and painted objects. Indeed, Joe Downing was passionate about the museum, whose centerpiece is the famous 16th-century Issenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and Nicolas de Haguenau. It’s a very characteristic part of his work that is now being unveiled to the public through this auction.
