Joe Levy, a prominent Israeli Collector of Fine Art and Antiques, was mostly based in Haifa, but was well known to auctioneers worldwide, not only as a customer, but also an expert in the field, and on many occasions, referred to as an authority on various works of art.
His expertise was a family tradition, passed on with the Art Gallery on Yoel St., Haifa, established in the 1950s by his father and mentor, Rahamim Levy, who had managed a similar business in Iraq, in the early 20th Century, with his father.
In the course of time, Joe became World-renowned in the area of Fine Art, and this extensive collection of Art literature, featuring many prominent Catalogue Raisonnes and Albums, served for him as a very important reference library.
Many valuable and rare books are included in this sale, which features Part 1 of the 3-Part sale of his library, which will be offered for sale here, in the coming months.
