In The Impossible Collection, Ségalot and Giraud curate the ideal contemporary collection—a collection in which money is no object and anything is possible. Whether "impossible" to obtain or available at the tip of a paddle, these works are remarkable on their own, but as a collection they form a unique perspective on contemporary art. Capturing the essence of today's art world that is at once rarefied, deified, and revolutionary, this limited edition volume presented in a linen box was assembled using the traditional anglaise technique and color-tipped by hand on art-quality paper. Each page bears the unique imprint of the artisan.


Philippe Segalot joined Christie's in New York in 1996 as contemporary art specialist before becoming the company's international head of contemporary art. Franck Giraud joined Christie's in New York as Impressionist and modern art specialist in 1988 and became the international head of Impressionist and modern art at Christie's in 1996. The two men formed the New York and Paris–based art consultancy Giraud.Pissarro.Segalot with partner Lionel Pissarro in 2001.
