Rideau, Cruchon et Compotier

Rideau, Cruchon et Compotier

"Rideau, Cruchon et Compotier" is a painting created in about 1893 to 1894 by French artist Paul Cézanne (January 19, 1839October 22, 1906). It is considered the most expensive still life ever sold at an auction.

Cézanne was famous for drawing still lifes, especially those which expressed complex emotions while still being based upon reality. These type of paintings would eventually lead up to the creation of new art styles during the 20th century such as Picasso's cubism.

Ownership history

The painting went through the possession of Paris dealer Ambroise Vollard, Cornelis Hoogendijk, Paul Rosenberg, Dr Albert C. Barnes, and the Carroll Carstairs Gallery. This painting was sold at Sotheby's, New York on May 10, 1999 for $60,502,500, a record price, during the soldout of the Whitney family collection. The painting was later resold at a loss.
