Matisse's Odalisque au fauteuil noir (Odalisque in Black Chair) is considered a signature work of eroticism in modern art. The painting portrays Princess Nezy-Hamide Chawkat, the great granddaughter of the last sultan of Turkey, whom Matisse ran into on a Nice street in 1940.
The exhibition will also display surrealist art such as Rene Magritte's L'explication (The Explanation) and Yves Tanguy's Deux fois du noir (Twice in the Black).
The exhibition runs from Jan 9 to 12, and the auctions will be held on Feb 3.
