This September in Paris, Artcurial will present the African and Oceanic art collection assembled by Belgian collector Jean-Jacques Rotthier from the 1970s onwards. Comprising major Songye, Kuyu, Luba and Djenné works, this exceptional ensemble will be revealed in its entirety for the first time during Parcours des Mondes.
From May 19th to 21st, 2026, the Art Deco / Design, Italian Design, Limited Edition and Zao Wou-Ki auctions totaled over €8.1M. Among the highlights, a rare Singe attentif II by François-Xavier Lalanne achieved €1,438,000, alongside major results for Claude Lalanne, Gustave Eiffel, Pierre Dunand, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Zao Wou-Ki.
On the occasion of its upcoming auction, the Asian Art department at Artcurial is inaugurating a new curatorial cycle entitled “Dialogues — Echoes of the Classical and Contemporary Perspectives”, conceived as a space of transition and resonance between heritage and creation.
This first edition highlights the Chinese artist Liu Wenqi, whose porcelain works engage in dialogue with a group of Qingbai porcelains from the Song dynasty presented in the auction.
From May 26th to 31st, Artcurial is taking part in the ‘Journées Marteau’, which marks its 20th anniversary this year, an initiative of SYMEV (the French National Union of Voluntary Auction Houses), designed to introduce you to the world of auctions.
On this occasion, our specialists will welcome you for free valuations by appointment, as well as guided tours and talks at the Art Bookstore. Register now to take part in these events.
Following the success of the previous editions, Artcurial’s Monaco Auction Week returns to the Principality this summer and invites you to the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo from July 4th to 8th.
Five prestigious auctions will be held: Important Watches, Le Temps est Féminin (Ladies’ Watches), Jewellery, Monaco Sculptures and Hermès & Luxury Bags, featuring exceptional pieces.
