Safra en vente chez Sotheby’s NEW YORK, 18-21 OCTOBRE 2011 – La vente comprendra notamment du mobilier et des objets d’art européens, des objets d’art russes et de l’argenterie – 20 Juin 2011 – Six ans après la vente événement des Biens issus des Collections de Lily & Edmond J. Safra*, Sotheby’s aura l’honneur de consacrer une seconde vente à ces magnifiques collections du 18 au 21 octobre 2011. L’enchère s’étendra sur quatre jours et sera organisée en six catalogues, comprenant chacun des pièces représentant la quintessence des diverses catégories de la collection: du mobilier européen aux objets d’art provenant d’Europe et de Russie, en passant par l’argenterie, les reliures et les peintures d’intérieur du XIXème siècle. Estimée à plus de 40 millions de dollars**, cette vente constitue une opportunité sans précédent pour les collectionneurs du monde entier. Toutes les pièces mises en vente seront exposées à Sotheby’s New York à partir du 14 octobre prochain. Pour Robin Woodhead, Président de Sotheby’s International, « il s’agit d’un immense honneur de pouvoir présenter l’une des plus belles collections du XXème siècle. Lily et d’Edmond Safra ont collectionné avec passion les œuvres d’art de la plus grande importance et ont toujours été guidés par les principes de beauté et de rareté. En grands connaisseurs, ils n’ont acquis que les plus belles choses et les ont savamment mises en valeur, toujours avec un naturel et un raffinement exquis. » « Assembler des œuvres d’arts pour créer de magnifiques collections a été l’une de passions de ma vie, une passion que j’ai partagée avec mon époux, Edmond », a déclaré Madame Safran. « Depuis sa disparition, j’ai concentré mon énergie sur le travail de la Fondation Philanthropique Edmond J. Safra. Mon sentiment est qu’il est aujourd’hui temps de donner à d’autres l’opportunité de profiter de ces trésors, avec l’espoir qu’ils inspireront de nouveaux collectionneurs autant qu’ils m’ont inspiré. » Mario Tavella, Président du Département de Mobilier de Sotheby’s en Europe témoigne par ailleurs: « J’ai toujours été émerveillé par l’attention aux détails et la complémentarité parfaite des objets et des meubles que l’on retrouve dans toutes les maisons de Madame Safra. Chaque catégorie – ivoires, livres, dessins d’intérieur – constituent des collections à part entière à l’intérieur de la collection qui, dans son ensemble, est d’une beauté, d’une rareté et d’un état de conservation exceptionnel. Il est rare de voir des collections d’une telle quantité rivaliser avec autant de qualité et où l’académisme et l’élégance se marient avec une telle facilité. » Les six catalogues de la vente correspondent à six sections distinctes. La section dédiée au Mobilier et aux œuvres d’art européens sera dominée par un ensemble exceptionnel de meubles en laque du XVIIIème siècle, peut-être la plus importante sélection mise aux enchères depuis la vente en 1882 de la Collection du 12ème Duc de Hamilton provenant du Palais de Hamilton en Ecosse. Parmi les importants objets d’art russes figureront plus de 100 lots composés entre autres de porcelaine, d’argenterie et d’émaux et constituant l’une des plus importantes collections de porcelaine russe en mains privées à apparaître sur le marché. La section consacrée à l’argenterie comprendra des créations françaises et anglaises réalisées entre la seconde moitié du XVIIIème siècle et le début du XIXème siècle. 180 reliures de style « Cosway » feront également l’objet d’une section dédiée, représentant la plus importante et la plus belle collection du genre mise aux enchères depuis près de 90 ans. Le catalogue intitulé « Intérieurs: rares aquarelles du XIXème siècle » renfermera une remarquable 2 collection de plus de 100 peintures reproduisant pour la plupart les intérieurs des demeures de grands mécènes et de somptueux palais royaux. La section consacrée au mobilier et aux arts décoratifs européens aura pour lots phares une large sélection d’oiseaux en porcelaine de Meissen datant du XVIIIème siècle ainsi qu’une importante collection d’objets en ivoire magnifiquement gravés. MONSIEUR EDMOND J. SAFRA Salué comme l’un des plus grands banquiers du XXème siècle, Monsieur Edmond J. Safra était réputé pour sa droiture et son sens inégalé de la finance. Né à Beyrouth dans une famille dont la tradition bancaire remonte à l’Empire Ottoman, il a bâti un empire financier présent dans plus de 30 pays à travers le monde. Edmond Safra débuta sa carrière dans le monde de la banque à l’âge de 16 ans au sein de l’entreprise familiale. La famille Safra s’installa ensuite au Brésil sur recommandation d’Edmond où lui et son père fondent la Banco Safra S.A. Edmond Safra créa puis présida la Republic New York Corporation, la Republic National Bank of New York et la filiale européenne de cette dernière, la Safra Republic Holdings S.A. En 1999, Monsieur Safra vendit l’intégralité de ses parts de la Republic New York Corporation et du Safra Republic Holdings au groupe londonien HSBC. Victime d’un incendie criminel dans son appartement de Monaco, M. Edmond J. Safra disparut le 3 décembre 1999 et fut inhumé à Genève. Tout au long de sa carrière, Monsieur Safra soutint en toute modestie un très grand nombre d’œuvres philanthropiques. Il finança les études de dizaines de milliers d’étudiants, apporta son soutien à la recherche médicale, participa à la construction et à la restauration d’écoles et de synagogues, finança des postes de professeurs et prit part à d’innombrables causes humanitaires, éducatives et culturelles à travers le monde. Il joua un rôle central dans la vie nationale, culturelle et religieuse de l’Etat d’Israël et contribua à des réalisations comme la Place Safra où sont situés les bureaux du Maire et de l’administration de la ville de Jérusalem. Il offrit par ailleurs au Musée d’Israël un manuscrit d’Einstein sur la théorie de la relativité datant de 1912 et fit construire l’Hôpital pour enfants de Tel Hashomer. En 1998, l'Université Hébraïque de Jérusalem lui accorda le titre de Doctor Philosophiae Honoris Causa pour sa contribution au domaine de la finance, son engagement envers la cause juive, son soutien aux causes humanitaires et à l’enseignement supérieur en Israël. Il reçut également le titre de Docteur honoraire de l’Université Yeshiva pour sa longue contribution à l’enseignement de la culture juive. Salué à travers le monde pour son engagement philanthropique, Monsieur Safra fut nommé Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres et Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur par le gouvernement français; Commandeur du l’Ordre de Mérite par le Grand-Duc de Luxembourg; et Commandeur de l’Ordre de Rio Branco par le gouvernement brésilien. Monsieur Safra est à l’origine d’une fondation philanthropique majeure qui a pour but d’assurer un soutien à long-terme aux individus et aux organisations dans le besoin. Depuis sa disparition en 1999, la Fondation Philanthropique Edmond J. Safra, sous la présidence de sa chère épouse Lily, n’a cessé de trouver l’inspiration dans la vie et les valeurs de son fondateur. 3 MADAME LILY SAFRA Madame Lily Safra a partagé son engagement envers les défavorisés avec son époux, Monsieur Edmond J. Safra, l’un des plus grands banquiers du XXème siècle et fondateur de la Fondation Philanthropique Edmond J. Safra. Elle préside depuis 1999 cette fondation dont la mission est de soutenir des projets éducatifs, scientifiques, médicaux, religieux, culturels et humanitaires dans plus de 40 pays à travers le monde (www.edmondjsafra.org). Madame Safra est à l’origine de nombreux projets éducatifs menés en mémoire de son mari, à l’instar du Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics de l'Université d’Harvard. Le campus de l’Université Hébraïque de Jérusalem a été renommé « Campus Edmond J. Safra » pour saluer sa relation privilégiée avec la Fondation. Madame Safra a également créé l’Ecole Alfredo J. Monteverde, une institution enseignant les sciences et la technologie à plus de 1000 enfants dans une région déshéritée du nord du Brésil. Madame Safra occupe le poste de Présidente honoraire de la Fondation internationale pour l’éducation séfarade qu’elle a créée avec son mari en 1977 et qui, depuis, est devenue l’organisation à but non lucratif conduisant l’action la plus importante pour l’accès de jeunes Israéliens issus de milieux défavorisés à l’enseignement supérieur. Madame Safra est engagée personnellement et à travers la Fondation dans le soutien à la recherche sur les maladies neuro-dégénératives, notamment Alzheimer et Parkinson, ainsi que dans l’accompagnement des patients atteints de ces maladies dans des douzaines d’hôpitaux et d’universités à travers le monde. Parmi ces derniers figurent l'Institut du cerveau et de la moelle épinière de L'Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière à Paris, l'Institut Claude Pompidou pour la maladie d'Alzheimer à Nice, l’Institut des neurosciences et le nouvel institut Clinatec de Grenoble, le Centre pour la maladie de Parkinson et les troubles du mouvement de l'Université de New York, le Programme Edmond J. Safra sur la maladie de Parkinson de l’Université de Toronto, ainsi que le King’s College et l’Imperial College de Londres.

  • Where There's Smoke...: [WEEKEND MAGAZINE Edition] Peakin, Will
    Where there's smoke...: [WEEKEND MAGAZINE Edition] Peakin, Will. The Scotsman [Edinburgh (UK)] 25 Aug 2001: 10. Abstract (summary) [Ted Maher] is being represented by two local lawyers who are attempting to have the charges against him reduced. He has also been visited by Mike Griffith, who represents his wife and her brother Todd. (Griffith has filed complaints in Monaco and the US that [Heidi] and Todd were abducted when they flew to the principality shortly after the fire, that they were threatened and had their passports stolen.) He found Maher wary of explaining in detail what happened and came away without an answer to the two questions that concerned him most: were there two intruders in the apartment; and were the knife wounds in Maher's stomach and leg self-inflicted? This scenario demands another implausible: that while the assassination was supposed to be in progress, [EDMOND Safra] and [Vivian Torrente] made several calls to family, staff and the emergency services asking to be rescued. If, between losing contact and their bodies being found an hour later, someone slipped in and for some reason found it necessary to finish off the job the smoke was already doing, it was not subsequently noticed at the postmortems. But this does not deter the amateur sleuths. For a while, Maher was visited in jail by an Anglican priest, Father Fred Preston. In an interview with the Mail on Sunday in June, Preston was quoted as saying: "It is ridiculous to claim Safra died from smoke inhalation. Two former fire brigade officers tell me it would have been impossible for a lethal volume of smoke to have been drawn from the fire Ted allegedly started into the room where Safra was found." Fortunately for Maher, he has a more respected champion in Dominick Dunne, a writer for Vanity Fair.

    Edmond and Lily Safra & The Edmond J. Safra Foundation Mr. Edmond J. Safra was one of the greatest bankers of the 20th century, having established an unparalleled reputation for financial acumen and trust. Born in Beirut to a family that had started in banking at the time of the Ottoman Empire, he built a business that spanned more than thirty countries across the globe. Edmond Safra was just sixteen when he went to Milan to work on behalf of his family’s banking business. Following Edmond’s recommendation, the Safra family moved to Brazil, where father and son founded Banco Safra S.A. Edmond Safra was Founder and Honorary Chairman of the Republic New York Corporation and Republic National Bank of New York and was Chairman of its European private banking subsidiary, Safra Republic Holdings S.A. Edmond Safra was also an extraordinary philanthropist. Rarely taking personal credit, he supported tens of thousands of students, underwrote medical research, built and restored schools, endowed professorships, and contributed to countless humanitarian, religious, educational, and cultural causes. He made major contributions to the national, cultural, and religious life of the State of Israel, including donating to the Israel Museum Einstein’s 1912 manuscript of the Special Theory of Relativity as well as an abandoned 18th-century synagogue from Suriname; and by building Safra Square, where the offices of the mayor and the city administration of Jerusalem are located. Edmond J. Safra created a major philanthropic foundation to ensure that needy individuals and organizations would continue to receive assistance and encouragement for many years to come.
