(29 Jun 2010) SHOTLIST 1. Wide exterior of Sotheby's auction house gallery in Paris 2. Close up of Sotheby's sign 3. Various of photographic portrait of legendary Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard 4. Wide of Sotheby's curators inside the gallery 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Samuel Valette, Sotheby's head of Impressionist and Modern art: "Today, there is something for every type of collector. You have the exquisite monotype by Degas - 'La fete de la patronne', which will appeal to the most refined and difficult, if I dare say, collectors of monotype. But you also have works, as you say, for 100, 200 or 300 euros, which is a unique opportunity to own something which was close to the most important art dealer of the first half of the 20th century." 6. Wide of screen with Andre Derain's painting "Arbres a Collioure", sold in London on 22 June 2010 7. Wide of Paul Cezanne's 'Oil portrait d'Emile Zola' 8. Close up shot of Paul Cezanne's 'Oil portrait d'Emile Zola' 9. SOUNDBITE (French) Samuel Valette, Sotheby's head of Impressionist and Modern art: "Most of the portraits (of Zola by Cezanne) were destroyed. Cezanne destroyed them because he didn't think they were good enough. He only kept a few of them, of which this is one, so this is really quite rare, because most were destroyed by the artist himself." 10. Various of Picasso's 'Le repas frugal' 11. SOUNDBITE (English) Samuel Valette, Sotheby's head of Impressionist and Modern art: "It shows the early genius of Picasso. The atmosphere is incredible, the quality of the print and the quality of the drawing itself is amazing." 12. Wide of the people viewing the gallery 13. Various shots of Edgar Degas' 'La fete de la patronne' 14. SOUNDBITE (French) Samuel Valette, Sotheby's head of Impressionist and Modern art: "This is a unique work and the subject matter is quite incredible, because when we think of Degas, we think of dancers and ballerinas, but we don't think about the scenes from the brothel." 15. Medium of people at the gallery looking at the exhibits. STORYLINE A long-lost trove of Impressionist and Modern art not seen since World War II will come up for auction at Sotheby's in Paris on Tuesday. The 140 works - including paintings, prints and drawings - belonged to Parisian art dealer Ambroise Vollard, who played an important role promoting artists including Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso and Matisse. The collection was found in 1979 in a Paris bank vault, nearly four decades after Vollard's death in a car crash. It had been neglected for decades because Erich Slomovic, an acquaintance of Vollard who deposited the art in the bank in 1939, was killed by the Nazis in 1942. The auction highlights include a portrait of the writer Emile Zola by Cezanne, three rare monotypes by Degas and a print by Renoir. One of the key works from the collection already came under the hammer on 22 June at Sotheby's in London. The 1905 painting by French artist Andre Derain sold for 19.7 (m) million US dollars. It had been expected to fetch around 18 (m) million US dollars. Derain co-founded the short-lived Fauve art movement with Matisse in the early 20th century.
