Henry Matisse's "Le Frégote" stands as one of the rarest works offered in the fine art
portion of the June 7th sale. The piece is one of only twenty-five prints that were created.
Matisse's sense of modernity and uncomplicated composition are clearly seen in the linocut
of the lounging nude. This master of the 20th century has created a body of work that has
spanned over a half-century and cemented him as a leading figure in modern art. Matisse's
"Le Frégote" will be sold at an auction estimate of $10,000-15,000.
