Published for Christie's Art Toy charity auction, held in Paris on June 18, 2008, this catalogue documents one of the first auction-house sales devoted to designer toys. Around thirty artists, designers and fashion figures, including Alber Elbaz, Philippe Starck, Andrée Putman, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Hervé Di Rosa, each customized a Qee figure produced by Toy2R. The pieces were first shown at Colette from June 9 to 15, 2008. All proceeds went to Paris Tout P'tits, an association providing milk, food and hygiene products to infants in need in Paris.
A rare record of the Colette × Christie's collaboration and of the moment when designer toys entered the auction room.
Sold as a complete set, with:
