#Videocrux - Japanese designer puts art collection for auction Japanese designer puts art collection for auction
Japanese designer Kenzo is putting his impressive art collection up for auction in June. On show at his Paris home, objects some of them very rare from Asian sacred art to Chinese archeology, African masks or American Indian headdresses. Kenzo Takada, Fashion Designer, "I would like to turn a page. For that, I didn't really have to, but I've decided to sell the house." Jean-Luc Estournel, Asian Art Expert, "First, it's an honour to sell this set of objects and second, it's above all an opportunity to show Asian objects on the French market which have been very carefully selected, with an artist's eye and also a rigor that is rare among French amateurs. This will allow the various buyers to acquire objects of sometimes museum-like quality."
