The Erté Legacy Collection: The World’s Only Complete Bronze Portfolio of the Father of Art Deco

Few artists have defined an era as powerfully as Romain de Tirtoff—better known to the world as Erté. Dubbed the Father of Art Deco, his influence stretched across fashion, illustration, set design, and sculpture. His signature style—elegant, elongated forms infused with theatrical flair—captured the spirit of the Jazz Age and continues to resonate nearly a century later.

Today, an extraordinary opportunity exists: the Erté Legacy Collection, the world’s only complete privately held collection of Erté bronzes, alongside his renowned Alphabet and Numerals Suites, Objects d’Art, and Medallions.

This collection is fully authenticated and meticulously preserved, making it not just a rare acquisition, but an historic act of stewardship.

Why This Collection Matters

• A Complete Body of Work in Bronze In his later years, Erté achieved what few artists ever could—he translated his illustrations into sculpture, ensuring his vision would endure for centuries. This collection comprises 146 bronzes, representing the entire scope of his sculptural portfolio.

• Historic Suites of Global Recognition The Alphabet Suite (26 works) and Numerals Suite (10 works) are landmarks in Art Deco art publishing. They are instantly recognizable and form the foundation of Erté’s graphic legacy, reinterpreted here in timeless form.

• A Legacy Ready for the World Stage With the 2025 Centennial of Art Deco in Paris fast approaching, global attention will turn to the artists who shaped the movement. No single collection embodies that story more completely than the Erté Legacy Collection.

The Opportunity

Owning or stewarding this collection is not merely about possession—it is about preserving cultural history. Whether acquired by a visionary collector, a leading museum, or an institution seeking to align with Art Deco’s centennial revival, this is a chance to make a permanent mark on art history.

• Investment Value: Beyond its historic importance, the collection represents a long-term financial opportunity. Complete, authenticated collections of this scale are virtually unheard of in the art market.

• Cultural Capital: Stewardship offers institutions and collectors unparalleled prestige, positioning them as custodians of Art Deco’s enduring legacy.

• Exhibition Potential: The Erté Legacy Collection is exhibition-ready, offering a global audience access to a once-private treasure.

A Call to Visionaries

This is not just art. It is a movement. A bridge between the glamour of the past and the inspiration of the future. To acquire the Erté Legacy Collection is to step into the role of cultural guardian, ensuring that the artistry of Erté lives on for generations to come.

The collection is available now in its entirety. It is a rare window of opportunity—one that will not come again.
