The Monte-Carlo Auction House is holding a sale of modern and contemporary art on February 4th. The auction features a diverse catalogue of paintings, sculptures, and design objects, headlined by Fernand Léger's 1932 oil painting "Contrasting Objects on a Blue Background," which carries a high estimate of €800,000.
This sale is a significant market event for the Monaco region, highlighting the continued demand for major 20th-century artists alongside contemporary names. The high-value estimate for the Léger work signals confidence in the market for classic modernism, while the inclusion of design pieces like a table by Roger Capron reflects the growing collector interest in cross-category acquisitions.
